Ladybug and Snail Sharing Secrets on a Log
Coloring guide
Face to face, almost nose to nose, a smiling ladybug and a snail sit on a big log as if swapping a secret. The ladybug has round-tipped antennae, big eyes and a spotted shell with large and small circles mixed together. The snail has two tall eyestalks and a swirly spiral shell. The log in the middle shows wavy wood grain, a knot and circular rings on the cut end. Tall grass blades frame both sides at the top, and two spotted mushrooms sit in the bottom corners with grass tufts around them. Large shapes suit little hands and chunky crayons. Red wings on the ladybug, a soft orange or yellow spiral for the snail and warm brown for the log would look good. A free printable for a quiet afternoon or a nature lesson.
