This lion coloring page features a rather friendly looking lion, more cuddly-toy-ish than the roaring, fearsome creature we know!
He's the king of the jungle... although he doesn't live there, apparently preferring grassland or savannah. But he's king of the beasts alright - even his mane looks like a crown!
Kids can add grass, bushes, a snake crawling along the bottom of the page, and a wide blue sky with sun.
