Happy Turtle Strolling Past Flowers, Reptiles Coloring Page

Coloring guide
A happy little turtle with one big round eye and a wide smile is walking over a patch of grass. The domed shell is split into large hexagons, a bit like a soccer ball, so small hands can fill it in one section at a time. A curved band runs along the bottom edge of the shell. You'll also spot a tiny tail, stubby legs and rounded toes. The turtle stands on a grassy mound with a few tufts of grass and two simple flowers that have round centers and leaves. Outlines are thick and clean, which suits preschoolers and early elementary kids. For the shell, you could alternate two greens with yellow, then give the flowers pink or purple petals. Kids who like Reptiles coloring pages usually enjoy Snake and Birds too.
A gentle color plan to get started — mix in your own anytime.
- lime green
- emerald green
- golden yellow
- pale cream
- deep forest green
A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Color the grass patch, turtle head, legs, and tail in lime green, leaving the small white highlights on the front and back legs untouched.
- 2Fill the shell panels with a patchwork: lime green on the outer side panels and emerald green on the top and lower center panels, with the deep forest green on the small leaf by the bottom flower.
- 3Color the thick shell rim and the belly band underneath in golden yellow, keeping the gap between the legs white.
- 4Paint the toes and claws in pale cream, and color the flower leaves in emerald green.
- 5Color the flower centers in golden yellow and leave the flower petals and the eye white so they stay bright.
- 6Optional: Add light extra strokes of darker green on the shell panels to give the shell more depth.
