Waving Ladybug Sitting on One Big Leaf
Coloring guide
Right in the center of one large leaf sits a cheerful ladybug, both front legs lifted in a little hello. Its round head has big shiny eyes, rosy cheeks and a happy smile, with two curly round-tipped antennae sticking up above. The shell divides down the middle and carries six big round spots, three per side, which small hands can color in easily. The leaf comes to a point at the tip, has a short stem at the bottom and a few simple veins fanning out around the bug. Thick lines and open shapes suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. Bright red with black spots on the shell and two shades of green on the leaf work well. A free printable for a quiet activity at home or in class.

- 3Color the arms and legs charcoal gray, including the elbow joints.
- 4Fill the six little feet and the two antenna balls with golden yellow for a cheerful pop of color.
- 5Leave the eye whites, the smile, and the big leaf in the background white so the ladybug stands out.
- 6Optional: Add light scribbled shading in darker red along the edges of the wings for a bit more depth.
