44 Kitten Coloring Pages (Free PDF Downloads)

By Zen Vibes Editors · Published · Updated

If you need a page that feels gentle from the start, kittens usually do the job. The first few here are especially easy for little hands, with a kitten face, a sitting kitten, and a kitten with a bow that give a young child plenty of room to color without getting lost in tiny bits.

Then the set starts to play. There is a kitten with yarn, a kitten tucked into a mitten, and a kitten batting a ball across the page. Older kids can move on to scenes with more to look at, like two kittens playing, a kitten climbing a curtain, or a kitten at the window. Our favorite is the kitten in a rain boot, which has the same small-cat sweetness with a funny little twist.

Compared with the wider Cats page, this set stays softer and rounder, with simpler scenes and a more baby-animal feel. It works well when a three-year-old wants something cute right away, but there is still enough here for the older child at the same table.

How to print these pages

  1. Pick the paper size that matches what is in your printer: US Letter or A4.
  2. Open the PDF and choose Print. Set scale to 100 percent or “actual size” (not “fit to page”).
  3. Plain copy paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier cardstock for markers or paint.

Print at actual size on plain paper. The simpler kitten pages work well with crayons, and the fuller scenes suit pencils too.

Kittens or cats

If someone wants the smallest, sweetest pet pages first, start here. The Cats set covers more grown-up cat scenes, while these kitten pages lean into naps, play, and getting stuck in places they probably chose themselves.

Good picks for mixed ages

This is a handy set when the table has children of different ages. A very young child can take the kitten in a cup or the yawning kitten, while an older one can settle in with kittens in a basket or the kitten in a toy box.

A nice set for story prompts

Kittens give you little scenes that are easy to talk about before the coloring even starts. The kitten under an umbrella, the kitten with a paper plane, and the kitten with a milk bowl all feel like the start of a small story.

Ideas for using these pages

  • Make a kitten name tag for each finished page, then line them up and choose which kitten naps the most, climbs the most, or causes the most trouble.
  • Color the kitten with yarn, the ball, and the paper plane, then have each child tell a short story about what the kitten was playing with before this moment.

Questions about this set

Which kitten pages are best for a very young child?
Start with the kitten face, sitting kitten, kitten with a bow, or kitten in a cup. They have big open spaces and simple shapes that are easier for small hands to enjoy.
Are these different from the Cats pages?
Yes. These kitten pages stay softer and simpler, with more playful and sleepy scenes. If someone wants baby-animal charm and easier shapes, this set is usually the better place to begin.
