Kawaii sleepy kitten wrapped in a curled blanket with little steam swirls above its head

Sleepy Kitten in a Rolled Blanket

A drowsy kitten peeks out from a big spiral blanket roll, with tiny warm swirls floating above its ears.

🎨 How to color it

Use cream for the sleepy kitten, sky blue for the rolled blanket, pale pink for the nose and inner ears, and light gray for the little warm swirls. Chunky crayons are perfect for the big blanket spiral; toddlers can color right over the wrinkle lines if they like. Try making the blanket stripe from dark blue at the outside curl to lighter blue near the kitten’s chin.

Under the nap basket, hush-hush, Lumi made a game: roll the blanket, tuck the nose, whisper, “Purr-purr, who’s warm?” The wool smelled like sunshine and toast.

Then the cold floor went creep-creep under the edge. Lumi did not keep the curl. She rolled one big loop out for her toy duck, one loop for the sleepy sock, and one loop for herself. So much warm! So much purr! Ever since, blankets curl up because Lumi’s happy game needed room to share. Can you find the cozy curl that started it?
