Kittens are born with their eyes shut and begin to open them at around one week to ten days old. They start playing at about three to four weeks old — and this play is actually important practice for hunting skills like pouncing, grabbing, and batting. Cats and kittens are attracted to balls of yarn because the moving, unraveling string mimics the movement of small prey like mice. A kitten's purr can begin as early as two days after birth.
Coloring ideas: kittens come in many colors — try a warm orange tabby with darker orange stripes, a grey and white pattern, or a classic black and white tuxedo look. Color the ball of yarn in a bright contrasting color like red, blue, or yellow, with spiral lines to show the wound thread.
Toddlers will love the big simple kitten body and the round ball of yarn. Try making the purring sound together as you color — a fun way to connect the picture to the real animal experience!
