Dragonfly and Ladybug Friends Sharing a Big Leaf
Coloring guide
Two little friends have found each other on one large leaf here. On the left, the dragonfly has four big rounded wings, two antennae with round tips, sparkly eyes and a happy smile, and its long striped body curves down and away. The ladybug sits close on the right and looks up at it with a sweet smile, her shell covered in big round spots. The leaf has a center vein with curved lines branching off, and three round water droplets are waiting for color. Bold, clean outlines and large open spaces make it easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. A bright red shell for the ladybug looks great, along with soft blue or purple wings on the dragonfly and pale green for the leaf. Print it free for a quiet afternoon at home or in class.
