Smiling Butterfly Page, Color by Number (Adult)
Coloring guide
Front and center is a happy butterfly with its wings spread wide and two curly antennae finished with round tips. Each section carries a number from 1 to 5. The long striped body is 1, the outer edges of the upper wings are 2, the big oval spots in the middle of those wings are 3, and the lower wings are 4. You'll find the number 5 three times in the empty space, near the top and in both bottom corners, which lets kids choose a background color. Large shapes and bold outlines keep it easy for little hands. Yellow for the body, purple for the outer wings and bright orange for the oval spots is one idea to try.
