Woven Basket Full of Daisies and Bellflowers

Woven Basket Full of Daisies and Bellflowers coloring sheet

Coloring guide

A woven basket with a tall arched handle holds a big bunch of flowers and leaves. At the front sits a large open flower with rounded petals and a swirled, spiral center. Two daisy-style flowers with many thin petals sit beside it, one on the left and one higher up on the right. In the middle, a tall stem is packed with round, layered blossoms stacked one above the other. Two drooping bellflowers hang out on either side, and a spiky, feathery flower rises toward the top right. Long grass blades, curled tendrils, veined leaves and lobed fern-like fronds fill the gaps. The basket is made of small brick-like woven rectangles. Try giving each flower type its own color family, then use the spiral center and the stacked blossoms to practice shading from light to dark. This free printable also works well for talking about flower shapes with younger kids.
