Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 5–8
Estimated time: 20–30 min
Difficulty: Medium
Areas to color: about 50

Coloring order

Color the tiger's whole body a bright, even orange first, leaving the chest, cheeks and belly white.
Then paint the stripes on the sides and legs in black or dark brown, starting with the thickest ones, one at a time.
Last, do the stripes on the curling tail, the pink pad on the raised paw, and the eyes and nose.

Questions to talk about

The tiger is raising one paw. Who might it be waving to?
If you had stripes, where would they be, and what shape?
Have you seen clothes or things with stripes? What were they?

Take it further

Raise one hand like the tiger and tiptoe around quietly. See who can walk with the softest steps, and try swishing an imaginary tail too.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

About this image

The black-and-white line art you print and color. Closed shapes and bold outlines make it easy to fill.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
