About this coloring page
A single tulip stands upright in a tall cup shape with a wavy, pointed top edge. Its stem runs straight down, and two leaves branch off near the bottom – the left one leans up against the side of the bloom.
There are only four main areas to color, which makes this a calm, quick page for little ones. You will notice the stem line carries on up into the cup; children can treat it as a fold between two petals and color right over it.
Color ideas
- Make the cup a bright red and add a touch of yellow along the pointed top edge.
- Color each half of the cup a different shade of pink, using the line up the middle as the dividing line.
- Give the two leaves a blue-green color, which is close to the gray-green of real tulip leaves.
Did you know?
- Tulips grow from bulbs that are planted in the fall and bloom the following spring.
- Wild tulips first grew in the mountains of Central Asia, long before they became famous in the Netherlands.
- Many tulip flowers close up at night or when it is cold and open again in the warmth of the day.
