🎨 How to color it

Color the cat kid’s fur soft cream, the overalls denim blue, the big yarn ball rainbow stripes, and the paw prints bubblegum pink. Use chunky crayons or washable markers for the large face, overalls, and tail bands, then let a grown-up help with the tiny yarn lines if needed. Try making the two corner yarn curls match the rainbow ball, as if the thread is still unspooling around the stars.

Why Yarn Leaves Paw Prints — Up in the sewing attic, where cedar smelled warm and sleepy, Pip rolled one fat ball of yarn between both paws. Read the full story →

Up in the sewing attic, where cedar smelled warm and sleepy, Pip rolled one fat ball of yarn between both paws. He had invented a game called Loop-and-Pounce: tap the needles, wrap the yarn, then hop when the thread went swish.

“Loop, pounce, loop!” Pip whispered. The game made a tiny scarf grow, row by row, under his own busy hands. But each time he pounced, the loose yarn touched the dusty floor and left a little paw shape behind. Pip held up his scarf, proud as a sunrise.

Ever since that quiet attic game, yarn that is made with love sometimes leaves paw prints. Next time you see the curls of thread, can you find where Pip’s swish went?
