Wild Roses and a Rose Bud With a Butterfly

Wild Roses and a Rose Bud With a Butterfly coloring sheet

Coloring guide

Two large open wild roses with five rounded petals and dotted centers sit among layered leaves, with one flower at the upper right and another near the middle. A big rose bud with a folded, cup-like shape sits at the upper left, and smaller closed buds on thin stems appear at the top, left side and lower left. Veined, pointed leaves fill the spaces between them, and a few curling tendrils swirl around the edges. In the lower right, a butterfly with patterned wings rests close to the leaves. Try coloring the petals in soft pinks or yellows and leaving the small dots in the flower centers a darker shade. Kids can also use the butterfly's wing sections to practice blending two or three colors. This printable page works well for a spring art table or a quiet afternoon activity.
