Flamingo Watching a Butterfly Beside Hibiscus Flowers
Coloring guide
Standing on one leg in shallow, rippling water, a friendly flamingo curves its long neck into an S and turns its head toward a small butterfly fluttering close by. The butterfly has a smiling face and a dotted flight trail behind it. Around the pond are two large hibiscus flowers, big split monstera leaves, spiky palm fronds, and a few small rocks and grass tufts at the water's edge. The flamingo's layered wing feathers are good practice for coloring small sections, and the broad leaves and petals are easy for younger kids to fill in. Soft pink and coral look nice on the flamingo, bright yellow or red on the hibiscus blooms, and a mix of greens on the leaves. This free printable suits a quiet afternoon, a classroom animal unit or a summer activity table. Add this to your Flamingo coloring page collection, alongside Puppies and Cats.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Fill the flamingo's neck, head and body with soft pink, then color the wing and long legs with hot pink.
- 2Color all the hibiscus flowers with coral red, leaving the stamens and the small white highlights in the petals uncolored.
- 3Use fresh green for the big monstera leaves and most leaves, then add yellow green and soft lime to the palm fronds for variety.
- 4Color the beak light peach, finishing the tip with dark charcoal, and add bright green to the grass tufts near the rocks.
- 5Paint the butterfly's wings with sky blue and orchid purple, adding violet purple dots, and fill the rocks with light gray and the water ripples with sky blue.
- 6Optional: Add a little deeper green to the shadowed sides of the leaves to make the scene look more layered, and leave the background white.
