Swallowtail Butterfly Filled With Spirals and Zigzags

Swallowtail Butterfly Filled With Spirals and Zigzags coloring page

Coloring guide

A large butterfly sits front and center with its wings spread wide and its two curled antennae reaching up. Each wing is filled with small designs: spirals, circles, zigzags, triangles, striped sections and flower-like shapes that repeat in layers. The upper wings come to a sharp point at the tips, and the lower wings end in long curved tails with striped patterns. The body is slim, with a rounded head and a segmented middle. Because the left and right sides mirror each other, this page works well for a symmetry lesson. Try coloring one wing in warm shades and the other in cool shades, or match each section on both sides so kids can spot the pairs. Fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils suit the small spaces best, and this free printable gives older kids and adults a calm spring activity.
