pouting
Displaying childish displeasure
Pouting is sulking or showing displeasure by pushing out the lips and wearing a discontented expression.
Children pout when denied something; adults pout when feeling slighted or ignored: She spent the evening pouting because he forgot their anniversary.
The gesture can also be deliberately playful or seductive: pouting for the camera.
