Did you know? Mickey Mouse was originally named Mortimer Mouse but was later renamed by Walt Disneys wife, Lillian, who thought the name Mickey sounded more appealing and fitting for the character.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Here are five coloring page ideas based on the image of a cartoon black-and-white version of Mickey Mouse:
• 1. Rainbow Colors: Color the entire page in rainbow colors, starting at the top and working your way down, so that each color follows one another, creating an ombre effect.
• 2. Color by Shape: Use different colors for each shape on the image, such as eyes, nose, ears, gloves, shoes, belt, and pants.
• 3. Shadowing Effect: Color the entire page in shades of grey or black, but leave some areas white to create a shadowing effect.
• 4. Color Blocking: Divide the page into large sections and color each section using one or two colors. For example, you could use blue for his head and red for his pants.
