About this coloring page
Seen face-on, this daffodil has six rounded petals around a center drawn as a ring of scallops with a small circle inside – that is the trumpet, pointing straight at you. A straight stem drops down past two leaves.
The petals are generous and easy to fill. The scalloped center has a few tiny spaces, so younger children may want to color the whole middle as one round patch, while older ones can pick out the ring.
Color ideas
- Try a soft yellow for the six petals and a deeper orange for the scalloped trumpet ring.
- Color the small circle at the very center a dark orange or brown, like the inside of the trumpet.
- Use white petals and a pale yellow trumpet for a gentle, creamy daffodil.
Did you know?
- Daffodils grow from bulbs, and their scientific name is Narcissus.
- The cup or trumpet in the middle of a daffodil is called the corona.
- Every part of a daffodil is poisonous to eat, so they are for looking at, not tasting.
Try this
Count the petals together, then look for daffodils on a spring walk and check whether they have six too.
