Cats are the animal kids ask for most, so we drew 75 of them. You’ll find big simple cats for toddlers who are still learning to hold a crayon, cheeky cartoon faces, cats curled up in mugs and baskets, cats napping in sunbeams, and busy cats riding bicycles and playing the piano. Every page is free, needs no signup, and prints clean on both Letter and A4. Tap any picture to colour it online, or grab the PDF and print it.
Every page on this list was drawn from scratch by our team, so you won’t find these cats anywhere else. They all share the same friendly round cat character, which means a child can colour ten of them and it still feels like one storybook rather than ten unrelated worksheets.
The collection runs from simplest to busiest. The first set is built for ages 2 to 4 — a big cat, three or four large shapes, nothing fiddly. The cartoon set adds expressions: winking, dancing, blowing a kiss. The cozy set puts the cat indoors with mugs, blankets and fireplaces. The sleeping set is the calmest of the lot and works well at bedtime. After that come cats playing, patterned cats for older children who like filling in detail, funny cats in costumes, and finally full scenes with backgrounds.
Age 2 to 4 does best with the Easy set — thick lines, wide open shapes, and no small gaps where a crayon can slip out. Age 5 to 7 can handle the cartoon, cozy and playing sets, which add a few background elements without getting crowded. Age 8 and up will enjoy the patterned cats, where the cat’s body is divided into stripes, spots or geometric panels that reward patience. Every page carries an age badge so you can skip the guesswork.
Print on standard paper for crayons and coloured pencils. If your child likes markers, use a heavier paper — around 120gsm — so the ink doesn’t bleed through to the next sheet. The PDFs are set up for US Letter but print fine on A4 with the default “fit to page” setting. For classrooms, print in greyscale draft mode to save toner; the lines are pure black so nothing is lost.
Cut the cat out and glue it to folded card to make a birthday card. Colour two copies of the same cat in different colours and ask which one your child prefers, and why — it’s a surprisingly good conversation starter. Punch a hole in the top corner and thread ribbon through to hang a whole row along a windowsill. Older children can colour a patterned cat with a strict three-colour limit, which turns it into a small design exercise.
