Rainy Day Dragonfly Under a Leaf Umbrella
Coloring guide
When the rain comes down, this little dragonfly keeps dry by holding a big veined leaf over its head. It has big round eyes and curled antennae, and one tiny arm grips the long leaf stem while the striped tail hangs behind. Raindrops fall everywhere, and at the bottom a puddle sits between two clumps of grass. The four wings are full of delicate vein lines, so this free printable is a nice pick for kids who like detail work. Soft greens work for the leaf and grass, pale blue and lilac for shimmery wings, and bright blue for the raindrops and puddle. Younger children can fill the wide open leaf and puddle, while older kids can practice staying inside the lines on the wings.
