Swan Among Water Lilies and Cattails, Aesthetic Style
Coloring guide
A smiling swan glides over a calm pond, its long neck curved in a gentle S and its head turned a little to the side. The wings are layered, scalloped feathers, and soft ripples circle the body. Three water lily blossoms sit on flat lily pads up front, with a smaller lily on each side of the pond. At the back, tall cattails and grasses rise on both sides of a rounded shoreline bush. Big feather shapes and open spaces work for young children, while the ripples and petals give older kids more to do. Pale blue and lavender suit the water, and soft pink on the lilies will help the swan stand out. Free to print for a quiet afternoon or a nature lesson. Looking for more?
