About this worksheet
This bobcat sits back on its haunches with one front paw lifted in a wave, four toe pads and a palm pad clearly outlined for colouring on their own. Its ears end in little black tufts, its eyes are big and round, and a scatter of freckle dots sits above its smiling mouth. Down its body run loose, curved stripes and ovals, seven or eight of them, spaced well apart rather than packed together, and its short tail curls neatly against one back leg.
The appeal here is the mix of scale. The body, head and raised paw are wide open shapes a child can fill in with one steady colour and barely need to lift the crayon, while the stripes, ear tufts, paw pads and whisker dots give them smaller, separate bits to pick out in a second or third colour if they want to. It is a good page for talking about the wave, the paw pads, and why a bobcat might have a short stubby tail instead of a long one like a house cat.
There is nothing fiddly or cramped in this drawing, so it suits preschoolers who are still working on staying inside lines rather than children hunting for a challenge. Younger toddlers can happily colour just the big round body and call it done, while older preschoolers might enjoy going back in for the stripes and paw pads too.
How to use this sheet
Let your child colour the big body and head first, then come back for the smaller paw pads, stripes and ear tufts, so a wobbly line on a small shape does not spoil the whole page.
