Frog Catching a Fly Coloring Page

This frog sits square to the viewer with its two big front legs and two chunky back legs planted out to the sides, each webbed foot fanned into little toes. Its tongue is the star of the picture: it loops out of its smiling mouth in a long spiral curl, reaching all the way up to a small fly with two wings and two thin antennae hovering in the top corner. The eyes are two solid black circles, already filled in, sitting on top of a wide rounded head.

There is a lot to like here for small hands. The body, head and legs are all large, gently curved shapes with plenty of room, so a child can color in broad strokes without worrying about staying inside tight lines. The tongue and the fly are the fiddly bit, thin and looped, which gives a bit of a challenge for anyone who wants to slow down and use a finer touch or a different color to make the tongue stand out from the frog. It is also an easy picture to talk about while coloring: what color is this frog, is it going to catch that fly, why is its tongue so long.

As coloring sheets go this one sits on the easy side, with only the curling tongue and small fly asking for any real care. That makes it a good pick for a toddler who mostly wants big spaces to fill in, while still giving an older preschooler something more precise to aim for if they want it.
