Bold easy lion cub coloring page with big eyes, fluffy mane, jungle leaves, and sun

Smiling Lion Cub Under Jungle Leaves

A cheerful lion cub peeks out with round ears, a fluffy mane, bright eyes, leafy plants, and a sunny sky above.

🎨 How to color it

Give the lion cub a honey-gold face, a cinnamon-orange mane, emerald jungle leaves, and a sunny yellow circle in the corner. Use chunky crayons to fill the big face, mane, and leaf spaces; staying inside every line is optional for little hands. Add a tiny white spot on the black nose so it looks shiny, just like a secret sun sparkle.

The story behind this coloring page

The Secret Nose Sparkle — Behind the big leaves, Beni made up a game: sniff the sunbeam. Sniff-sniff! Read the full story →

Behind the big leaves, Beni made up a game: sniff the sunbeam. Sniff-sniff! The warm light smelled like dry grass and sleepy flowers. Beni wanted to catch it before it slid away.

“Psst, come here,” he whispered to a beetle. He tipped his nose up. Plink! The sunbeam stuck there, bright and round. Beni giggled so hard his whiskers wiggled.

Ever since, little lions keep a shiny spot on their noses for sun-sniffing games. Can you find Beni’s secret sparkle?
