Easy cartoon lion face coloring page with fluffy mane, round ears, whiskers, and a big smile.

Smiling Lion Face With Fluffy Mane

A cheerful lion face fills the page, with rounded ears, sleepy oval eyes, curvy whiskers, and a fluffy pointed mane.

Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Lion collection, made for ages 5–7 and drawn in a Cartoon style.

🎨 How to color it

Color the lion’s face honey gold, the fluffy mane sunset orange, the inner ears soft peach, and the nose cocoa brown. Use chunky crayons or markers to fill the big face and mane shapes, and don’t worry if little hands color over the whisker lines. For a fun secret, make every other point of the mane a slightly darker orange, like warm stripes hiding in the fluff.

The story behind this coloring page

Pelo Shares the Hidden Purr — Under the moon, Pelo pressed both paws to his cheeks. A tiny hum buzzed there—brrr, brrr—so happy it tickled his whiskers. Read the full story →

Under the moon, Pelo pressed both paws to his cheeks. A tiny hum buzzed there—brrr, brrr—so happy it tickled his whiskers. He wanted to keep it tucked inside until sunrise. Then a silver cricket popped from the grass and clicked, “Too big for one mouth!”

Pelo opened his mouth just a little. The hum rolled out as a warm purr, soft as dusty velvet. It touched the grass, the cricket, and every sleepy cub nearby, making them smile too. Pelo’s whiskers spread wide to let the joy out. Ever since, when lions feel a secret purr getting too big, their whiskers open like little gates—can you spot Pelo’s gates ready to share?
