This lion coloring page features a standing lion with a full body view, surrounded by basic shapes like a circle, heart, star, triangle, pentagon, and hexagon. The standing pose lets kids see the lion’s whole body, making it different from sitting lion coloring pages.
A simple coloring plan is to color the lion first using one main color for the body and a darker shade for the mane. Then, color each shape a different color and name the shape out loud. Kids can also match shapes by using the same color for two shapes.
