Sunflower Seat for a Cheerful Butterfly
Coloring guide
Perched right on top of a large flower, this cheerful butterfly has big round eyes, a happy smile and two curly antennae. Its wings are spread wide, with ovals and circles of different sizes on the upper and lower wings. Underneath, the flower has a center covered in small dots, a ring of long petals, and a straight stem with two big leaves at the bottom. The background is empty, so the white space is clean and easy to work with. Bright orange and yellow suit the wings, with deep brown for the dotted center and green for the leaves. Thick outlines and roomy shapes work well for preschoolers and early elementary kids, and it's a free printable for a quiet spring activity at home or in class. Fans of Butterfly coloring pages often like Umbrella and Star as well.
