This lion coloring page features a cute lion facing forward with a big fluffy mane, sitting above simple grass. The front-view pose makes the face easy to see, and the bold outlines with open spaces make it simple for kids to color.
A fun coloring plan is to keep the lion’s face and body a light yellow or tan, then color the mane a darker orange or brown so it stands out. Kids can color the grass in one or two greens, and add a few tiny dots or short lines in the mane to make it look extra fluffy without making the page hard.
