What your child practises

  • Colours the six curved petals without crossing into the flower centre
  • Fills all four wing circles in a colour that stands out from the wings
  • Follows the curled antennae with small, controlled strokes
  • Keeps the striped body a different colour from the wings around it
  • Chooses a colour for each of the two leaves and the stem

About this worksheet

This page has one round-faced butterfly sitting on top of a flower. The butterfly has two big dot eyes, a small closed smile, and two antennae that curl into neat spirals at the tips. Its body is made of short stripes, and each of its four wings holds a single plain circle in the middle, so there are four circles to fill in total. Underneath, the flower has six large rounded petals fanned out around one big round centre, a short straight stem, and two pointed leaves at the bottom.

Almost every shape on this page is large and rounded, which makes it a good one for a child who is still learning to stop a crayon at a line rather than run past it. The six petals and four wing circles are a natural excuse to try out lots of colours, or to keep it simple with one shade for the whole flower and another for the whole butterfly. The curled antennae are the only fiddly part, and even those are thick, open loops rather than fine detail, so a child can talk through what they are drawing as they go, like insect feelers or curly hair.

Compared with most sheets in this pack, it sits on the easy end: no tiny gaps, no overlapping fine lines, just big petals, big wings, and a face. That makes it a solid pick for a toddler colouring for the first time, or for the end of a session when everyone wants a quick, satisfying finish rather than a challenge.

How to use this sheet

Let your child start with the big flower centre and petals, the easiest shapes on the page, before moving to the smaller wing circles and antennae. If the curled antenna tips feel too fiddly, skip them and come back once the rest is done.
