Lion Cub and Mom

Few scenes are sweeter than a lioness and her cub. On this page a gentle mother lowers her head to nuzzle her little one, who gazes up lovingly with big bright eyes, the two of them sitting close together in a grassy clearing. There is a lot of tenderness to color here, from the mother's smooth maneless head to the cub's tiny round body and the soft tufts of grass around their paws. Mid-size outlines suit kids who are past the toddler stage but still appreciate plenty of open space. In a real pride, lionesses do most of the cub-raising and will even nurse one another's babies, so motherhood is truly a team effort. Talk about your own family while you color. Print it on US Letter or A4 and pick warm, golden tones to bring out the cozy, caring mood.
