Dove With Olive Branch, a Good Friday Coloring Page
Coloring guide
A white dove soars across this page with its wings stretched wide and a leafy olive branch in its beak. The round eye, rounded body and soft scalloped wing and tail feathers leave lots of room for crayons or markers. Under the bird, two long palm-style fronds cross in an X. Each corner has a small five-petal flower with a leaf and a couple of little stars. Bold, clean outlines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids, and the feather sections let older children try some shading. Since it is filed under Good Friday, it could work for a quiet classroom or Sunday school session. Soft sky blue or pale gray looks good on the wings, fresh green on the branch and fronds, and sunny yellow in the flower centers. Print this free page for class or the weekend. Kids who like Good Friday coloring pages usually enjoy Sugar Skulls (Día de Muertos) and Matryoshka Dolls too.
A gentle color plan to get started — mix in your own anytime.
- leafy green
- coral pink
- golden yellow
A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the olive branches: fill every leaf on both crossed branches and the twig in the dove's beak with leafy green, leaving the small gaps between leaves white.
- 2Color the leaves in the four corner sprigs with leafy green too, so the corners match the branches.
- 3Fill each flower's petals with coral pink, then color the flower centers and the five stars with golden yellow.
- 4Color the dove's beak golden yellow and leave the dove's body, wings and the eye whites white for a clean, bright look.
- 5Optional: add a little shading to the leaves with a slightly darker green in the lower part of each leaf to make them look more lifelike.
