Dragonfly Clinging to a Slanted Plant Stem

Coloring guide
A cheerful cartoon dragonfly with big round eyes, curly antennae and a little smile holds onto a tall, slanted plant stem. Its four wings are spread wide, and simple curved lines inside them make fun sections for small hands to fill. The long body has neat rounded segments heading toward the tail, and the tiny legs wrap around the stem. Up top there's a closed flower bud, with a large leaf beside it, another big leaf on the lower left and a small leaf near the bottom. A plain white background keeps things simple for beginners. Soft blue and purple wings, a bright green body and a few shades of green on the leaves would look lovely. Print the free PDF at home whenever you need a quick coloring break. This fits right in with our Dragonfly coloring pages — see also Owl and Shark.

- pale aqua
- leaf green
- sky blue

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the wings using pale aqua, filling every wing section and leaving the thin vein lines unpainted.
- 2Color the dragonfly's head, thorax and long body segments in sky blue, then fill the abdomen tip.
- 3Fill the leaves at the bottom left and top, the small leaf at the bottom, and the stem with leaf green.
- 4Paint the flower bud at the top of the stem in soft purple, keeping the small highlight on the bud tip white if you like.
- 5Keep the eye whites, eye shine and the thin legs white so they stand out against the blue and green.
- 6Optional: add a slightly darker blue along the lower edge of each abdomen segment to give the body some shading.
