Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Lion collection, made for ages 2–4 and drawn in a Bold & Easy style.

🎨 How to color it

Use honey gold for the lion’s body, toasted orange for his shaggy mane, bright green for the grass tufts, and sky blue for the tall rounded post. Chunky crayons are perfect for the big face, mane, body, and post, and it is fine if little hands color over the lines. Add tiny yellow paw-print dots on the blue post to make it look like the lion decorated it himself.

The story behind this coloring page

Pip’s Big Boom Post — Tap-tap, pat-pat! Pip slapped wet red clay onto a tall post at drumgrass camp. Read the full story →

Tap-tap, pat-pat! Pip slapped wet red clay onto a tall post at drumgrass camp. He wanted to make one big boom post with his own paws. The clay felt cool and squishy.

He smoothed it high. He smoothed it low. His tail curled like a loop-de-loop. “I made it!” Pip roared, and the grass went shh-shh-shh.

Then—pop! From the round top slid a tiny bell seed, hiding where no paw had looked. Ding! Pip tapped his post, proud and bouncy. Next time you see his curled tail, can you hear tap-tap, pat-pat?
