25 Lion Coloring Pages (Free to Print and Download)
Lions are pretty much the rockstars of the animal kingdom. We’ve been drawing them at ColorWee since forever, and honestly? Nothing beats watching kids go bonkers when they spot their favorite big cat on paper.
Our collection’s kinda grown into this messy family album of lion life. You’ll find the little ones, all paws and attitude, tumbling around like they’ve had too much catnip.
Then there’s those lazy afternoon sketches of the grown-ups, stretched out under the African sun like they’re posing for their next album cover.
Print whatever catches your eye. No signing up for stuff, no “please follow us” begging. These pages have ended up everywhere, crumpled in backpacks, pinned to classroom walls, even spotted one stuck to a coffee shop bulletin board once.
Need a quick fix for restless kids or just want five minutes of zen between meetings? These lions got your back. Grab some paper, find your favorite colors, and just go with it.

Fun Extras for Lion Lovers
There’s something truly special about coloring lions, they’re both fierce and playful, and every page is a chance to make them your own. If you’re looking to dive a bit deeper, why not try adding your own twist to the scene? Maybe your lion is relaxing in a field of wildflowers, or a cub is peeking out from behind a tree you draw yourself.
Some people like to use different materials: crayons for soft fur, markers for bright eyes, and even a bit of glitter glue for a magical touch. It’s also a lot of fun to come up with a name or backstory for your lion. Is your cub a curious explorer or a gentle dreamer?
Lions are full of surprises in real life, too. Did you know a lion’s mane isn’t just for show? It actually helps protect their neck and can signal how healthy and strong they are to other lions. [2]
Here are a few more wild facts and creative ideas to make your coloring adventure even more interesting:
- Lions spend up to 20 hours a day resting or sleeping, no wonder the cubs in these pages look so relaxed!
- In the wild, a lion’s roar can be heard up to five miles away.
- You could try blending yellow, orange, and brown for a more realistic mane, or go totally wild with rainbow colors.
- Turn your finished coloring page into a greeting card or a poster for your wall.
- Try drawing extra animals or safari plants in the background—giraffes, zebras, or even some tall acacia trees.
- For a simple shading trick, use the side of your colored pencil and blend gently with your finger or a tissue.
- If you want an extra challenge, use colored pencils for fine fur texture, or layer markers and pencils together for a richer look.
There’s no wrong way to bring your lion to life. The most important thing is to have fun and let your imagination lead the way!
