Swallow Gliding Over a Rolling Meadow in Spring

A small bird with a forked tail swoops across the sky above a rolling meadow, with a spiky sun and several puffy clouds overhead. Below, three round-topped trees stand on gentle hills, and bushes with scalloped edges line the slopes. Two butterflies flutter near the middle of the page, one by the trees on the left and another beside a fallen log on the right. In the foreground you will find a few daisy-style flowers, a larger flower with pointed leaves, grass tufts, and a hollow log lying on the ground. The lines are clean and the shapes are fairly large, so younger kids can manage it easily. Try coloring the sky and the sun first, then use a different color for each butterfly wing so children can talk about patterns and symmetry. This printable page also works well for a spring nature lesson on what we see outdoors.
