Ladybugs Crawling on a Dandelion Puffball, Insects Coloring

Coloring guide
A big, round dandelion seed head fills the middle of the page, with three smiling ladybugs crawling all over it. The largest sits on top, with big round spots on her wings and two curly antennae. A medium-sized one climbs up the right side, and a smaller one clings to the lower left near the center of the puff. All three have wide smiles and sparkly eyes. Wispy seeds drift through the upper right, and a stem with two wavy-edged leaves anchors the bottom. The detailed seed rays are great for practicing small, careful strokes, and the large spots are easy for little hands. Red or orange wings, soft gray or pale yellow seed fluff and bright green leaves would look lovely. Download it as a free PDF for a classroom project or weekend craft.
