Bookworm Ladybug Reading Under a Mushroom
Coloring guide
This smiling cartoon ladybug sits on a mossy log with an open book, reading with wide, happy eyes. A large mushroom with round spots and detailed gills underneath makes a cozy roof overhead. Three butterflies flutter across the top, two flowers bloom on either side, and grass tufts fill the corners. In the bottom right, a little snail with a spiral shell peeks over at the story. The round spotted wing, the bumpy moss and the ring pattern on the log all give kids different shapes to color. Try bright red for the wing, soft purple or orange on the mushroom cap, and pastel wings for the butterflies. Print or download this free page for an easy afternoon activity. Looking for more?
