Fluffy kitten halfway up the tree coloring page

A fluffy kitten clings halfway up the Christmas tree, one paw on a bauble and tail in the air, among swags of tinsel, ribbon bows and baubles, with a star at the top and more stars floating around. Anyone who has had a cat at Christmas knows the scene. The fur is drawn in short strokes, so color the kitten in light layers and let the lines show through instead of pressing hard. Tinsel was first made in Germany in the seventeenth century from threads of real silver, which tarnished, so later versions moved to cheaper metals and then to plastic. The baby polar bear is the softer, simpler animal in this collection.

1. Orange, grey or brown for the kitten, in light strokes that follow the fur.
