Butterfly Resting on a Flower

Butterfly Resting on a Flower is a classic animal motif. Animal coloring pages are among the most popular of all. Coloring them helps children discover the shapes and characteristics of familiar and exotic animals while mixing colors freely. Realistic or wild with pink manes and blue spots: anything goes.

For the butterfly, bold colors like purple, orange, or petrol work especially well – use different shades on the wing patterns for added depth. Color the daisy petals classically white or soft cream, making the center a bright yellow. The stem benefits from juicy green tones, while delicate leaf veins can be highlighted with a lighter green. Use thinner markers for fine details like antennae and wing patterns – this gives the resting butterfly more elegance.
