Alphabet "C" Coloring Pages

"C" for "Cat"

Alphabet "C" is the 3rd letter of the alphabet.
The word on this coloring page is Cat. It means neko in English.
On the left side, you can see a sitting kitten with big sparkling eyes.
Its tail curls up, and the fur on its chest is fluffy.
At the bottom, you can see "Cat" written in outline letters. Let's read it out loud: "Cat!"

How to write uppercase "C" and lowercase "c"

You can write both "C" and "c" in just 1 stroke.
Start at the top right. Draw a big curve going counterclockwise.
When you reach the bottom, stop and leave the right side open.
Be careful not to close it all the way like an "O".
Count the 4 lines from top to bottom: 1st line, 2nd line, 3rd line, and 4th line. The dark 3rd line is the baseline where your letters sit.
Big "C" goes from the 1st line to the 3rd line. Small "c" goes from the 2nd line to the 3rd line.
They look the same, but their sizes are different!

The name of Alphabet "C" and its 2 sounds

The name of Alphabet "C" is "See".
But the "c" in "cat" makes a "k" sound.
Try saying it by puffing a short breath from the back of your throat!
Alphabet "C" also has another sound: "s".
For example, the "c" in "city" and "circle" makes the "s" sound.
First, let's learn the "k" sound in "cat"!

Other words that start with Alphabet "C"

In the middle on the right, you can see 3 small pictures of words that start with Alphabet "C".
Car means kuruma, Cake means keeki, and Cup means kappu.
The cake picture shows a shortcake with a strawberry on top.
All of these words start with the same "k" sound as "cat".
Try saying them together to a fun rhythm: "Cat, Car, Cake, Cup!"

What do you call a kitten in English?

In English, a baby cat is also called a kitten.
"Kitten" starts with the "k" sound too, but it is written with a "K", not Alphabet "C".
Sometimes different letters make the exact same sound!

For the big "C", you can use just one color or a nice gradient

The big "C" and "c" at the top right take 1 stroke to write.
If you change colors bit by bit—like red to orange to yellow—starting from where you begin writing, it is easy to see which way the line goes.
Of course, you can also color them with just 1 color you like!

How to color the kitten and small pictures

You can color the kittens any pattern you like, such as a brown tabby, a gray cat, or a black and white spotted cat.
If you color the inside of their ears and noses light pink, they will look super cute.
Color the eyes light blue or yellow-green, and leave the shiny white spots uncolored to make them sparkle.
You can color the car red or blue, the strawberries on the cake red, and decorate the cup with patterns in your favorite colors.

Start tracing from the top right

In the bottom right, you will see thin gray "C"s and "c"s lined up, four of each.
Use a pencil to trace them slowly, starting from the top right and curving to the left.
Try to make the rounded bottom of the letter touch the third dark line.
When you finish tracing, try writing them by yourself in the empty space on the right!

To finish up, let's read the word

When you finish coloring, try coloring the letters "Cat" on the left in the same color as the cat.
Point at "C" with your finger and read them in order, like "C, c, Cat," "Car," "Cake," and "Cup."
It is nice to save your finished coloring page by hanging it on the wall or putting it in a folder.

A Cat's Whiskers Are Sensors

A cat's whiskers are not just long hairs.
There are fine sensors at the base of the whiskers that act like sensors to learn about their surroundings.
It is said that cats also use their whiskers to feel if they can squeeze through narrow spaces.

Cats Sweat from Their Paw Pads

Cats do not sweat all over their bodies like people do.
They mostly sweat from the paw pads on their feet.
It is said that their paw pads can get damp when they get nervous or excited.

"C" and "G" Are Like Parent and Child Letters

A long time ago, in the letters used by the Romans, "C" stood for both the "k" and "g" sounds.
So, it is said that people added a little line to "C" to make "G" for the "g" sound.
If you compare the shapes of "C" and "G", they look very similar, don't they?

Cup Can Also Mean a Trophy

A Cup is a cup used for holding drinks.
But the "Cup" in sports, like the World Cup, is the exact same word!
It refers to the cup-shaped trophy given to the winning team.
