Smiling Cartoon Lion

This cheerful cartoon lion is all smiles. Sitting and facing forward with a big happy grin, a simple ring-shaped mane, small round ears, dot eyes, and a curled tufted tail, it is built entirely from big, simple shapes. That makes it one of the easiest lions to color, ideal for toddlers and preschoolers who are just getting the hang of staying inside the lines. There are no fiddly details to worry about, just large open areas waiting for color. Older kids can keep it bright and bold or add fun patterns to the mane. While real lions look much fluffier, this friendly cartoon captures the same warm, golden character everyone loves. Pick any cheerful color you like, from classic gold to a silly purple or blue lion. Print this happy fellow on US Letter or A4 paper and let the smiles begin.
