Ready to prowl? With their golden coats covered in spots, leopards are some of the most beautiful big cats of all. Colour these printable leopard templates, cut them out, or download the PDF to print at full size. They're perfect for safari and jungle animal themes, big-cat projects and spotty craft fun. Pick a leopard below and print or download it.
Give your leopard its spots
The spots are the best part! A leopard's markings are actually called "rosettes" because they look like little rose shapes. Dab them on with the end of a cotton bud, a fingertip or a marker pen for that classic leopard-print look. Colour the coat golden-yellow with a creamy tummy, then add as many spots as you like — no two leopards are ever the same.
Safari and jungle crafts
A leopard makes a brilliant safari or jungle project. Glue one to a paper bag or craft stick for a puppet, or build a whole big-cat collection with a lion and a tiger. Browse the whole wild animals group, or explore the full animals collection.
Leopard, cheetah or panther? And L is for Leopard
It's easy to mix up the spotty cats! A leopard has rosettes, a cheetah has solid round spots and little "tear marks" down its face, and a black panther is really just a leopard (or jaguar) with an extra-dark coat — its spots are still there, hidden in the black! These templates are great for the letter "L" too. A fun fact to share as you craft: leopards are amazing climbers and often haul their dinner right up into the trees to keep it safe.
