Sleeping Lion
A relaxed lion curled up asleep with its head on its paws, eyes closed and a peaceful smile — a calm, simple lion coloring page.
Shhh — this lion is fast asleep. Curled up with its head resting on its front paws, eyes gently closed, a fluffy mane all around, and a peaceful little smile, it makes the coziest coloring page on the savanna. The shapes are chunky and simple, so this is a wonderful low-stress choice for toddlers, preschoolers, or anyone who wants a calm, soothing page to fill in. There is plenty of open mane and body to color without any tricky detail. As it happens, lions really are champion sleepers, resting up to twenty hours a day to save energy for hunting in the cool of dawn and dusk. Coloring a snoozing lion is a gentle way to wind down at the end of a busy day. Print this sleepy fellow on US Letter or A4 paper and give him a soft, warm coat.
Coloring Tips
- Pick calm colors — soft golds and warm browns suit the sleepy, peaceful mood of the page.
- Fluff the mane — gentle round strokes around the head make the mane look soft and pillowy.
- Easy and slow — with big chunky shapes there is no rush, so younger hands can take their time.
