Butterfly Over a Big Flower Color by Number

Coloring guide
This butterfly has a smile and round-tipped antennae, and it sits just above a big daisy-style flower on a long stem. Tufts of grass grow on either side at the bottom. Every section has a number from 1 to 5. The wings are split into numbered parts, and the body is five stacked segments numbered 1 through 5. The flower center is 1, the petals are 2, the stem is 3 and the grass is 4. The shapes are large and there are only a few numbers, so it works well for preschoolers and early elementary kids learning their numbers. One easy plan is a single color per number: purple for 1, pink for 2, yellow for 3, green for 4, and any bright shade you like for 5. Print it free for a quiet activity at home or at school.
