Number 8 With Kittens Coloring Page

A large numeral 8 stands in the middle of this free printable page with a small sitting kitten beside it. The 8 is the most useful digit on the whole sheet to trace, because children almost always draw it as two separate circles stacked up, and that habit is hard to shift later when they are writing at speed. Follow the line with a finger instead: start at the top, cross down to the left, round the bottom loop and come back up through the middle. One continuous journey, no lifting off. Do it a few times before the crayons come out. The numeral is drawn as a thick bubble outline with two wide open loops, which makes it one of the more satisfying shapes in the set to fill in. Two kittens sit below the number with pointed ears and curled tails, drawn plainly with no shading and no pattern, so there is a little more to colour once the digit is done. Download the free PDF, print it at full size on US Letter paper, and keep it with the rest of the numbers.
