Tips for colouring these butterfly pages
Start with the big areas first, like the wings and the background, then move to the small details such as antennae, wing spots and props. Light colours go on first, dark colours last.
- Toddlers and preschoolers: try the big friendly butterfly smiling, the butterfly resting on a sunflower, the butterfly landing on a daisy, the butterfly flying over tulips, the butterfly dancing in the rain or the butterfly wearing a santa hat. They have big, simple shapes.
- Older kids: the butterfly mermaid under the sea, the butterfly knight with a shield, the butterfly artist painting a rainbow, the butterfly tea party with a ladybug and the butterfly mandala wings pattern have more detail to fill in.
- Use any colours you like. Real butterflies can be orange, blue, yellow or black, but yours can be rainbow, purple or pink too.
How to print
Open any page, press Download, and print on plain A4 or letter paper. Choose “fit to page” in your print settings so the whole outline fits.
