About this coloring page

Six separate nature drawings fill this sheet in two columns: a butterfly, a moth, a coneflower, a thistle, a fern frond and a rounded seed pod. The butterfly has long tails on its lower wings, while the moth has feathery antennae. Below them, the flowers show very different shapes, from drooping petals to pointed bracts and thin, upright florets.

This detailed design suits kids ages 6–10 who enjoy coloring smaller sections. Wing patterns, tiny flower shapes and jagged fern edges offer plenty to work on, with white space separating each subject. Try colored pencils for the narrow areas and repeat matching colors on both wings. Purple flowers and several shades of green would make a natural-looking palette, or you can choose your own bright combinations.
