Tree Frog on a Branch Beside a Butterfly

Coloring guide
With big round eyes and a wide smile, this tree frog hangs onto a slanted branch, its round-tipped toes wrapped around the wood. Large veined leaves surround it, one tucked behind its head and others filling the corners. Up in the top right corner, a smiling butterfly with curly antennae floats close by, its wings marked with simple oval patterns. Bold, clean outlines and roomy shapes make this free printable easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Bright lime green is a good pick for the frog, and warm orange or yellow wings will make the butterfly stand out from the leaves. The round toe pads are good practice for careful coloring, and the leaves are a chance to try different greens. This fits right in with our Frog coloring pages — see also Whale and Cow.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Color the big leaves with leaf green, and the frog's arms, thighs and shoulders with light green.
- 2Fill the tree branches with warm brown, leaving the thin lines of the bark as they are.
- 3Color the frog's face and belly with pale yellow, then add orange to its feet and toes.
- 4Paint the butterfly's wings with lavender purple, light pink and rose pink, and its body with bright yellow.
- 5Leave the eye whites and the small eye shines white so the frog looks bright and lively.
- 6Optional: Add a slightly darker green along the edges of the leaves and a little extra brown under the branch for depth.
