Butterfly Sitting on an Easter Egg Beside Tulips
Coloring guide
On this free printable, a happy butterfly with big round eyes, a smile and two curly antennae perches on top of a large Easter egg. The egg has bands of zigzag lines, a row of small circles and a row of hearts, so there's a lot to fill in. The butterfly's wide wings have big oval sections and rings of dots along the edges, which are great for slow, careful coloring. Three tulips grow beside the egg on the right, and tufts of grass cover the bottom of the page. Purple and pink wings look nice, with yellow and orange zigzags on the egg and red hearts below. Crayons handle the bigger shapes well, while fine markers are better for the tiny dots and circles. More like this: explore the Easter, Disney Easter and Fall coloring page collections.
