Cat at a Picnic Coloring Page

About this page

Picnic time sets the scene here, with a smiling cat sitting at the left of a checkered blanket. Its tail loops up behind it, and its big eyes look toward the viewer. To the right stands a woven picnic basket with its lid thrown open and a carrying handle swinging down the side, while at the front lies a sandwich with two slices of bread and a filling edge. The blanket is drawn in a slightly wobbly grid that runs diagonally across the bottom, and its corners are tipped upward. The basket weave is dense and has many small blocks, whereas the cat and the sandwich give larger shapes. A good medium page for kids who enjoy snack-time pictures and patterns.
