Spring Garden Fence with Three Butterflies
Coloring guide
Three smiling butterflies with curly antennae float above a garden fence in this springtime picture. Their big rounded wings are filled with circles, dots and swirly sections, so each one can get its own pattern. Underneath, a wooden picket fence stands behind tulips with closed petals and daffodils with open, star-shaped blooms. Tall grass blades fill the bottom, and a couple of leafy bushes peek out from behind the fence on either side. Clear outlines and large shapes suit preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or markers. Bright purple, orange and turquoise would suit the wings, and the daffodil centers could be sunny yellow. Print this free page for an easy afternoon activity. Love this Butterfly coloring page?

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the daffodils and the yellow butterfly heads: fill the daffodil petals and the butterfly heads with lemon yellow, leaving the daffodil centers white.
- 2Color the two big top and side butterfly wings: use rose pink on the top butterfly's outer wings, lavender purple on its inner wings, and sky blue on the left butterfly, keeping the round spots white.
- 3Fill the tulips next: color the top and side petals of the tall tulips with tulip red, and the two front tulips with rose pink or baby pink.
- 4Add the fence: use warm tan on the pickets and wood brown on the horizontal rails, then color the bushes with grass green.
- 5Finish the grass and stems with grass green and forest green, and leave the small white highlights on the grass tips and the white spots on the wings untouched.
- 6Optional: add a few darker strokes of forest green along the grass blades and wood brown along one side of each fence picket for a bit of depth.
