Baby Bear Waving Hello to a Butterfly
Coloring guide
Sitting in the grass, a cheerful bear cub raises one paw toward a butterfly fluttering over its head. It has big sparkly eyes, round ears, a little open smile and fluffy fur around the cheeks and chest. Both foot pads face forward, each with a large center pad and small toe pads that are fun to color. The butterfly has patterned wings and curly antennae. Daisy-style flowers with big petals, leafy stems and grass tufts along the bottom surround the bear. Large shapes and clean lines make this free printable a good fit for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Golden brown fur and pink paw pads look sweet, and orange or purple wings help the butterfly stand out from the flowers. Love this Bear coloring page?
