Puppy and Kitten with a Yarn Ball

A smiling puppy and kitten sit beside a striped yarn ball in a cozy room with curtains, plants, toys, and a sofa.

🎨 How to color it

Color the puppy caramel brown with a cream muzzle, the kitten soft gray with peach ear centers, and the yarn ball in sunny yellow and tangerine stripes. Use chunky crayons or broad markers for the big puppy, kitten, sofa, and curtains, then let a sharpened pencil help with the yarn’s curved stripes and the tiny wall marks. Try making the rug mint green so the warm yellow yarn looks like a little handmade treasure between the two friends.

Tilly’s Quiet Yarn Surprise — Every day after snack, Tilly pushed yarn across the playroom rug with her nose, trying to make one straight, brave line. Read the full story →

Every day after snack, Tilly pushed yarn across the playroom rug with her nose, trying to make one straight, brave line. The yarn smelled dusty-sweet, and the kitten, Junie, watched it wiggle. “I made a path,” Tilly whispered.

Until one day, the yarn rolled under the sofa and bumped something that went tap. Because of that, Tilly and Junie crouched low, whiskers and ears almost touching. Because of that, they pulled out a paper star wrapped in blue thread: FOR THE FIRST RUG-MAKER. Finally, Tilly looped the thread through her yarn with careful paws, proud as sunlight on the curtains. Next time you see the yarn ball between them, can you spot where her brave line begins?
