Fun Butterfly Coloring Pages for Kids

Butterflies are one of those animals that are just made for coloring. Their wings come in all kinds of shapes, patterns, and colors, so kids can really let their creativity loose.

With these butterfly coloring pages for kids, children can try different color combinations and create their own unique butterflies. They don't have to follow the colors of real butterflies either. A purple butterfly with rainbow wings? Why not?

You can also encourage kids to add a background and turn their picture into a little garden scene.

Create a Colorful Butterfly Garden

Why stop at the butterfly?

Once the butterfly is colored, encourage kids to turn the page into a garden. They can draw flowers, grass, leaves, trees, and maybe a few other butterflies flying around.

You could even ask them to create a special garden where their butterfly lives.

What flowers are growing there? Does the butterfly have friends? Where does it go when the sun goes down?

A few simple questions can turn coloring into a fun little story.

Talk About Butterflies While Coloring

Butterflies can also be a fun way to introduce kids to nature.

You can talk about how butterflies start their lives as caterpillars and eventually change into butterflies. Younger kids don't need a complicated science lesson—just a few simple facts can make the activity more interesting.

Try asking:

“What colors are your butterfly's wings?”
“What flowers will it visit?”
“Where does your butterfly live?”

For older kids, you can talk about the butterfly life cycle and how butterflies use their wings to fly from flower to flower.
