About this Hello Kitty with a phone coloring page

The phone is an older model with a grid of buttons and a small screen. Those buttons are a dozen tiny shapes in a row, which is the fiddly part of an otherwise easy page.

How to color Hello Kitty with a phone

1. berry pink Colour the phone body in one flat colour, working around the keypad.
2. pale pink Fill the buttons in a lighter shade of the same colour.
3. Leave the screen white, or add the palest blue.

A screen left white reads as switched on. Fill it dark and the phone looks dead, which changes the whole story of the drawing.

Things to know about Hello Kitty with a phone

How do I color all those small buttons?

Use a lighter shade of the phone's own colour rather than a different one. They stay visible as buttons without turning the keypad into a chequerboard.
