Four Little Ladybugs on a Leafy Branch
Coloring guide
Four ladybugs sit side by side along a curving branch, each with a happy smile, big sparkly eyes and two antennae tipped with little circles. Take a closer look and you'll notice every one has a different spot pattern. One has two large circles, one has a center spot with a spot on each side, and the other two have more circles on their shells. That turns coloring into a bit of counting and matching too. Leaves hang below the branch, and a leafy sprig rises at the top right. The shapes are big and simple, so it fits preschoolers and early elementary kids. Give each ladybug its own shell color, say red, orange, pink and yellow, and keep the leaves green. Print this free PDF to add to your collection.
