Flower coloring pages

These flower coloring pages move from a single bloom to a whole garden: a bouquet of tulips tied with a bow, a sunflower growing in a pot, a rose trellis arching over a bench, and a market stall with buckets of flowers under a striped awning.

The daisy with a ladybug, the tulips, the sunflower and the watering can beside a flower pot are simple shapes for small children. The cottage garden, the greenhouse shelves and the field of wildflowers with a windmill take longer and suit older kids.

Petals look more real with two shades of the same color: a light one over the whole petal and a darker one near the center, where it folds in. Green leaves can vary too, with a yellow green in the sun and a blue green in the shade.

In spring, the child planting seeds in a raised bed is a nice sheet to color on the day real seeds go into pots on the windowsill. The flower crown on a picnic blanket and the bouquet also make a homemade card for Mother’s Day.
