Mushroom Patch Under a Gliding Dragonfly

Coloring guide
Gliding through the air above a patch of mushrooms, a cheerful dragonfly shows off big round eyes, a happy smile and two curly-tipped antennae. The four long veined wings are spread wide, and the segmented tail curves down to the left. Below, three polka-dotted mushrooms of different sizes grow in the grass, with the biggest in the middle. You'll also spot tall grass blades, a curled fern and small five-petal flowers. On the right, a quiet pond holds a lily pad, ripples and cattails, and a gently rolling hill is drawn behind it all. The wings have lots of sections for careful shading practice. Bright turquoise and purple would look good on them, and red mushroom caps will make the white dots stand out. Preschoolers and early elementary kids who like nature scenes should enjoy it. Kids who like Dragonfly coloring pages usually enjoy Owl and Shark too.

- 1Start with the big mushroom caps and the two smaller caps in bright red, leaving the round spots white.
- 2Fill the mushroom stems, gills under the caps, and the small mushroom bases in cream beige.
- 3Color the dragonfly wings in sky blue, leaving thin white gaps along the veins for a shiny look.
- 4Paint the dragonfly head and body in lime green, keeping the two big eyes white with a small black dot for shine.
- 5Add the bush, grass, fern, cattails, and lily pads in leaf green, grass green, forest green, and cocoa brown for the cattail tops.
- 6Optional: Add a little darker shading in the stem and gills to make the mushrooms look rounder.
