Kitten Chasing a Butterfly Coloring Page

A butterfly has caught this kitten's attention, and one paw is already lifted as if it might try to catch it. Flowers, grass, a tree, and a fence surround the cat, giving the page an outdoor setting with more variety than the indoor scenes in this collection.

About This Coloring Page

The kitten sits upright rather than running, but the raised paw and upward gaze still give the scene a sense of movement. The butterfly occupies the open space above the cat, while flowers and foliage create a natural frame around the lower half.

This page has a few more small shapes than the easy cat designs. Petals, leaves, fence posts, and butterfly wing sections let children spend extra time on the background once the kitten is finished.

Coloring Ideas

Make the butterfly the brightest part of the picture so it stands out against the garden. Different flower colors can be repeated around the page, while the kitten can be kept neutral or given bold stripes.

Learning Activity

Compare the kitten and butterfly. Talk about which one has fur, which has wings, and how each moves. Children can also trace the butterfly's dotted flight path with a finger.

Printing Tips

Portrait orientation leaves enough room above the kitten for the butterfly. Colored pencils are especially useful for the wing patterns, flowers, and narrow leaves.

For Parents & Teachers

This page is a step up from the simplest designs because attention shifts between one large animal and several smaller garden elements.
