Flowers Coloring Pages

These flower pages move from the simplest garden shapes to busier arrangements. A daisy, a tulip and a rose are each drawn as a single bloom on a straight stem, with big petals that suit a toddler's first crayons. The sunflower, lotus and bouquet stack petals on top of each other, which gives older children more to think about.

Flowers are a natural way to talk about how plants live. As you color, you can point out the parts a child can name on a real plant – petals, center, stem and leaves – and wonder together why a sunflower is so tall or why a lotus grows on water.

Many children also like to color a flower to match one they have seen in a park, a garden or a shop. Keeping a real flower or a photo beside the page turns it into a small looking exercise as well as a coloring one.
