Ladybug and Butterfly Sharing a Big Leaf
Coloring guide
Side by side on a large veined leaf, a cheerful butterfly and a little ladybug make a sweet pair. The butterfly has big sparkly eyes, long lashes, two curly antennae and a striped tummy, and its wings are decorated with round circles and curved sections. The ladybug beside it smiles with its own round eyes and antennae, and its shell is covered in big round spots. Two fluffy clouds float at the top, and a small flower with rounded petals and two leaves grows in the bottom right corner. Large shapes and clear outlines make this free printable a good pick for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Soft purple and pink suit the wings, bright red the ladybug's shell, and fresh green the leaf. Browse more Butterfly coloring pages, or explore Umbrella and Star for even more fun.
