Butterfly Chat with a Baby Owl on a Branch
Coloring guide
A big-eyed baby owl sits on a curved tree branch, holding on with both feet and glancing sideways at a friendly butterfly that just landed next to it. The owl has a tufted head, a round face, a small open beak, rows of scalloped belly feathers and a detailed wing at its side. The butterfly has a smiling face, curled antennae and wings covered in circles and rounded patterns. A sun with short rays shines in the corner above, and leafy twigs frame the top of the page. Along the bottom edge you'll find large leaves and three flowers with rounded petals. The wide spaces on the owl's body and the butterfly's wings are easy for small hands. Soft browns and creamy tan suit the owl, and bright orange and purple make the butterfly pop. Print this free page for classroom time or a rainy day. Kids who like Owl coloring pages usually enjoy Octopus and Snake too.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start by filling the owl's big brown head, wings, and lower body with warm brown, leaving the cream belly and the white eye circles for later.
- 2Color the owl's belly and face area with cream, then add sunny yellow feet and golden yellow beak.
- 3Fill the butterfly's upper and lower wings with coral pink and violet purple, and add orchid purple spots, leaving the white dots open.
- 4Paint the branch in warm brown and the leaves and stems in grass green, with light green on the right-side leaves.
- 5Color the flowers: coral pink and lilac for the small blooms at the bottom left, tangerine orange for the right-side flowers, and sunny yellow centers.
- 6Optional: Add a little shading in warm brown along the owl's wings and tail edges to make it look more rounded. Keep the eye whites, the highlights, and the background white.
