Water Lily Resting on Big Lily Pads

Water Lily Resting on Big Lily Pads coloring sheet

Coloring guide

A single water lily sits in the middle of the page, with layered pointed petals opening out from a center full of thin, curled stamens. The petals are drawn in rings, with small ones near the middle and larger, leaf-shaped ones around the outside. Under the flower is a big lily pad with a wavy edge and a few curved lines that show its surface. A second round pad sits at the top right with a small notch, and thin veins fan out from its center like spokes on a wheel. The lines are clean and the shapes are fairly large, so it works well for different ages. Try pale pink or white petals fading to yellow near the center, then two different greens for the pads so they stand apart. It could also lead into a short chat about plants that grow on the surface of ponds. Print as many copies as you need.
