Bold easy coloring page of a smiling kitten stretching on a checkered rug under a happy sun.

Stretching Kitten on a Checkered Rug

A cheerful kitten arches into a big stretch on a checkered rug while a smiling sun beams over the garden pots.

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

🎨 How to color it

Give the kitten soft orange fur, the checkered rug sky blue and lemon yellow squares, and the smiling sun a bright golden yellow. For little hands, use chunky crayons to fill the kitten’s big body first, then dab color into the rug squares without worrying about every line. Try making the rug border extra fancy with purple swirls so the stretching kitten has a special sunny mat.

The story behind this coloring page

Pippa Shares the Sun-Square — Every day, Pippa padded to the rug and put her tiny smooth pebble on the warmest square. Read the full story →

Every day, Pippa padded to the rug and put her tiny smooth pebble on the warmest square. She stretched over it—mmm, soft, sun-smelling cloth—and whispered, “Stay cozy.”

Until one day, the sun made the whole rug glow. Because of that, Pippa moved the pebble to one square, then another. Because of THAT, every square felt like a little hello. Finally, she called the sleepy fern, the beetle, and the breeze to share. Look at the rug again—you can almost feel Pippa’s sun-square.
