Butterfly Sitting on a Desk Calendar with Flowers

Coloring guide
Standing on top of a spiral-bound desk calendar, this butterfly has big sparkly eyes, long curly antennae and a wide smile. Its wings are spread out with large ovals and round dots to fill in, and the striped little body is a good place to try patterns. The calendar has five metal rings across the top and a blank grid, so children can write numbers or doodle if they want. At the bottom, a flower with a round center and a leafy stem sits on each side. Orange and yellow wings with purple dots make a nice contrast, and soft pinks and greens work for the flowers. This free printable suits ages 3 to 8, at home or in class. Add this to your Calendar coloring page collection, alongside Math Pixel Art and Anatomy.
