Lion pages with bold manes and big smiles
Lions are a great theme for confident coloring because the main shapes are simple and the mane can be as easy or as detailed as your child wants. For quick pages, choose lions with large spaces and a simple mane outline. For kids who like extra detail, pick designs with layered manes or small backgrounds like grass and sun. A fun idea is to choose a “mane plan” first—classic golden mane, two-tone mane, or a patterned mane with stripes and dots—then color the rest to match.
- Easy win: color the face first, then fill in the mane.
- Mane patterns: stripes, dots, zigzags, or two-color sections.
- Add a crown: turn the lion into a “king of the savanna.”
- Create a scene: draw grass, a sunset, or simple clouds behind the lion.
Lion color ideas (quick guide)
Try a classic lion (golden body + darker mane), or make a “sunset lion” with orange, red, and brown in the mane. For extra fun, use two tones in the mane (light + dark) to create a simple shaded look without being hard.
- Classic: tan body + brown mane
- Sunset: orange + red + brown mane
- Patterned mane: stripes or dots (2 colors only)
- Background idea: grass + warm sky (yellow/orange)
