Rara the lion

- A big mane, full of naps
The lion whose mane is a ring of rounded petals, which makes him look rather like a flower.
Who Rara is
Rara is the lion whose mane is drawn as a ring of rounded petals, which makes him look rather more like a flower than a predator. That is intentional.
He is drawn the same way everywhere he appears, with the same colours and the same face, so a child learns to recognise him quickly. That matters more at this age than anything he actually does on screen: a familiar face behaving predictably is what makes a screen feel calm rather than loud.
Colour Rara in
The mane is the main event: a circle of separate shapes around the head, each one its own area. A child can colour them all the same or alternate two colours, and the second looks genuinely good. The tail ends in a tuft.
Rara colouring page
Try alternating two colours around the mane. It is the one page in the set where a simple pattern makes a real difference.
The rest of the cast
Rara and the rest of them live in a world of gentle games for ages 1–4.
