Little Ladybug Peeking Over a Spring Tulip

Coloring guide
This page is all about one big, bold tulip, with a tiny smiling ladybug perched on the edge of a petal and peeking over the top. The ladybug has two curly antennae, a round happy face and a shell covered in circle spots, which gives little hands some fun detail to color. The tulip has several rounded petals, with a large egg-shaped one in front, and it sits on a thick straight stem. Two wide leaves, each with a single vein line, sweep out on either side at the bottom. Outlines are thick and clean with lots of open space, so preschoolers and kindergartners can go to town with crayons or chunky markers. A red shell with black spots would look great, with pink or yellow petals on the tulip. Print a few extra copies, since this one tends to get asked for twice.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the two green leaves and the stem using leaf green, coloring them with light, even strokes.
- 2Fill the big front tulip petal in the middle with rose pink, then color the top back petal in the same shade.
- 3Color the side tulip petals and the small back petal on the left with light pink, leaving the petal behind the ladybug for now.
- 4Add the ladybug shell in bright red, leaving the spots and the head white.
- 5Color the petal behind the ladybug in light pink so the ladybug looks like it is peeking over the flower.
- 6Optional: Add a few darker strokes of rose pink along one side of the front petal for a little shading, and keep the ladybug's face and eyes white.
