About This Coloring Page
This coloring page shows a big, friendly leaf with a tiny caterpillar munching on it, a chrysalis hanging underneath, and a beautiful butterfly just emerging. Kids who love nature and learning about how things grow will have fun using greens for the leaf, bright yellows and oranges for the butterfly, and maybe even some sparkly colors for its wings!
Symmetrical patterns look best — use the same colors on both wings. Try bright oranges, blues, and yellows.
