About Alphabet "L"
"L" is for "Lion"
The letter on this coloring page is Alphabet "L", the 12th letter of the alphabet.
A word that starts with L is Lion.
Lions are strong, big members of the cat family, and people call them the "king of beasts."
On the left side, there is a smiling lion sitting down with a fluffy mane.
Look at the tip of its tail, it has a little tuft of hair on it!
First, try saying "Lion" out loud, and then start coloring.
How to write uppercase "L" and lowercase "l"
You write uppercase "L" with 1 stroke.
Start from the 1st line at the top of the 4 lines, and draw a straight line down to the 3rd line.
When you reach the 3rd line, keep your pencil down and draw a horizontal line to the right.
Make sure to turn the corner nicely at a sharp angle to make it look great.
Lowercase "l" is also 1 stroke.
Just draw a straight line straight down from top to bottom, from the 1st line to the 3rd line.
It is simple, but writing it straight can be tricky, so take your time.
Lowercase "l" looks like uppercase "I" and the number "1", so be careful not to mix them up!
The "L" sound is like "luh"
When you say the name of this letter, it is "el".
Inside words, it makes a sound like "luh".
The trick is to touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth while you make a sound.
It is a little different from the Japanese "ra-ri-ru-re-ro" sounds, so try practicing in front of a mirror.
Learning to connect a letter with its sound like this is called phonics.
If you say the sound first like "l, l, lion" before reading the word, it will be easier to remember!
3 Words that start with L
In the middle on the right side, there are 3 small pictures of words that start with L.
The 1st one is Lemon, a sour yellow fruit.
The 2nd one is Leaf, which means a leaf from a tree or plant.
The 3rd one is Ladybug, which means a ladybug.
Try looking for words that start with the "l" sound with someone in your family!
The word "love" means you like something a whole lot.
How to Color Alphabet "L"
Color the big "L" and "l" with your favorite colors
The big "L" and "l" at the top right are both written in 1 stroke.
Stroke number ① is in red, so check the direction of the red arrow before you color.
You can color them in any color you like, but using yellow or orange to match the lion will make the whole page look great together.
For the uppercase Alphabet "L", it looks super cool if you make a gradient with different colors for the tall line and the bottom line!
Color the lion with yellow and brown
Color the lion's face and body with light yellow or yellow-ochre.
Color the mane with orange or brown. Make it a little darker than the face to make it look nice and fluffy!
Color the fluffy tip of its tail the same color as the mane.
Try coloring the nose light brown or pink, and the inside of its mouth red or pink.
Let's color the small pictures too
Color the lemon yellow. If you make the middle a bit lighter, it will look shiny!
Color the leaf green. You can color the lines on the leaf yellow-green too.
For the ladybug, color its back red, and its spots and head black to make it look like a seven-spot ladybug!
Trace the lines straight and slow
At the bottom right, there are 4 light gray Alphabet "L"s and 4 light gray "l"s in a row.
Use a pencil to trace them slowly from top to bottom.
The secret for the uppercase Alphabet "L" is to put the bottom line right on top of the 3rd line of the four guidelines!
When you finish tracing, try writing them by yourself in the empty space on the right.
Fun Facts About Alphabet "L"
Lions Live in Groups
Most members of the cat family live by themselves.
But lions are special cats because they live together in a group.
In English, a group of lions is called a pride.
Only the male lions have a mane around their neck!
The English Name for Ladybugs
In America, people usually call this insect a ladybug, but in the UK, they often call it a ladybird.
Even though it is the same insect, different countries call it by different names.

Why Leaves Change Color in Autumn
Leaves look green because they have something inside them called chlorophyll, which makes them green.
When it gets cold in autumn, this green chlorophyll breaks down.
Then, the hidden yellow color shows up, or new red colors are made, causing the leaves to change color!
Why Lemons Are Sour
Lemons are super sour because they have a lot of citric acid in them.
They are also packed with plenty of vitamin C.
If you bite into one plain, it is very sour, but if you mix it with honey and water, it makes delicious lemonade!
