Who this is
Kiko is the cat the whole of PlayKiko is named after. She turns up in almost every game, usually at the edge of the screen, watching before she joins in.
What is in the picture
The big round patch over one eye is the part children colour first, and it is the one place where a wild colour looks right — Kiko has worn green, purple and bright red in our house. Her two ears, her tail tip and four paws are separate areas, so there is plenty to fill without any of it being fiddly.
Colouring it with a toddler
Start with the patch and the ears. They are the largest areas and a child who finishes them feels the picture is already half done.
Thick crayons beat pencils at this age — they need no grip strength and they do not break when a child leans on them. Expect the first few attempts to be one colour scribbled across everything; staying inside a line comes later, and it comes on its own.
Colour it on screen instead
Kiko is also in the PlayKiko colouring game, where tapping an area fills it and nothing goes outside the lines. Useful on a train, where crayons are a mistake.
