Flower Fairy With Daisy Wand Colouring Page

This fairy hangs in mid-air with one leg tucked up and one arm stretched out to the side, as if she has just landed. Her hair falls in long loose curls past her shoulders, and she wears a heart-shaped top, a belted petal skirt made of several rounded petals, footless tights, and dainty strap shoes. Behind her sit two big rounded wings. In her raised hand she holds a tall daisy wand, a round centre ringed with nine pointed petals on a long stem.

The picture is built almost entirely from large, calm shapes. The wings, the skirt petals and the daisy head are all wide open spaces a small hand can fill without much steering, which makes this a good page for a child who is still working out how to stay inside a line. Her face is small and plain, just two eyes, brows and a smile, so there is no pressure to get fiddly detail right. It is an easy sheet to talk through too: how many petals on the daisy, which wing is bigger, what colour her dress should be.

There is more open space here than fine detail, so it sits on the easier end of the fairy and fantasy sheets in this set. It suits a child colouring largely on their own, with a grown-up around to help keep the hair strands and shoe straps from getting rushed. Fans of flowers or fairies will recognise her instantly, and the daisy wand gives them one big, satisfying shape to finish first.
