Butterfly Coloring Pages

36 free printable PDFsAnimal

Most butterflies in this set have friendly faces and bold wing patterns, which makes them a great match for young kids. You'll find wings covered in polka dots, stars, swirls, hearts, and rainbow stripes. Some butterflies have personality, like one wearing a crown, one waving hello, one singing, and one perched on a cupcake. There's also a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, a few garden and flower scenes, and one surprising page of a melting butterfly.

Choosing Butterfly Coloring Pages

Nearly two thirds of the set is simple, with one butterfly and big wings to fill. Toddlers can start with a simple butterfly, the butterfly with large wings, or the simple butterfly with heart patterns.

Kids who like patterns can try the polka dot, star, swirl, or rainbow wing pages. Making both wings match is good practice in symmetry.

The 12 medium pages add flowers and props, like a butterfly on a big flower, a butterfly in a garden, a butterfly sitting on a cupcake, and the butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, which works for a life cycle lesson. The butterfly in a rainbow flower garden is the most detailed page in the set.
