How to Use These Butterfly and Flower Coloring Pages
Butterfly wings are perfect for practicing patterns: color matching spots the same on both sides so the wings look balanced. Try real colors, like orange and black for the monarch, or invent rainbow wings. For flowers, use two shades of the same color on each petal, darker near the center and lighter at the tips, to make them look round and soft.
Ideas for Home and Class
- Life cycle lesson: color the life cycle page and talk about each stage, from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly.
- Symmetry art: color one wing, then try to copy it exactly on the other wing.
- Paper garden: cut out colored flowers and butterflies and arrange them into a wall garden.
- Calm time for grown-ups: the mandalas and floral patterns are relaxing with colored pencils or fine markers.
Butterfly and Flower Facts to Share While You Color
Butterflies taste with their feet. When a butterfly lands on a flower or leaf, sensors on its feet tell it whether the plant is good to eat or to lay eggs on. Monarch butterflies make one of the longest insect journeys on Earth, flying up to about 4,800 km (3,000 miles) from Canada and the United States to Mexico for the winter.
Butterflies and flowers help each other. As butterflies sip sweet nectar, they carry pollen from flower to flower, which helps plants make seeds. Learn more in Wikipedia’s article on butterflies.
