Belly-Down Bear Cub Eyeing a Little Butterfly

A young bear cub lies on its belly with its front paws stretched out on the ground, smiling as it looks down at a butterfly just below its nose. The cub has round ears, small tufts of fur on its head and cheeks, and big shiny eyes with a happy, gentle expression. Its rounded back and hind leg curve across the right side of the page. The butterfly sits in the lower left corner with folded wings, patterned with leaf shapes and curved lines, plus two curly antennae. The large open areas on the bear are easy for little hands, while the butterfly wings offer smaller sections for careful work. Try brown or honey tones for the cub and bright mixed colors on the wings so the butterfly stands out. This free printable also works well for a quick chat about gentle animals and insects.
