Bright reds, golds and greens suit the fluffy mane and patterned body of the lion. Tap a slow drum beat on the table and move like the lion while you color.

In this picture

A lion costume with a fluffy scalloped mane, big round eyes and an open mouth stands on four legs in pants and shoes. A laughing child with drumsticks stands at a drum, and three lanterns hang above.

Can you find?

  • three hanging lanterns
  • the lion's big eyes
  • a fluffy mane
  • a curly tail
  • two drumsticks
  • a round patch on the body

Coloring ideas

  • Alternate two or three bright shades around the scallops of the mane, and leave a small white dot in each of the lion's dark eyes.
  • Fill the round patch and the flower-shaped patch on the body with different patterns, such as dots in one and stripes in the other.

Talk about it

  • How many lanterns hang above the lion, and how many drumsticks is the child holding?
  • Which part of the costume would you want to wear, the big head or the curly tail?
