The eight petals are the one part of this flower color by number that never gets a number. A daisy has white petals, and the note under the key says a part with no number stays white, so only the pot, rim, stem, two leaves and round center take color. That makes six numbered parts out of fourteen. The two eyes on the center come printed solid black.
Five colors in a pot
Orange is 1 and goes on the pot, which narrows toward the base. Brown, number 2, is the rim. Choose a brown clearly darker than the orange so the two stay apart. Light green, number 3, covers both pointed leaves, and yellow, number 4, fills the round center. Green, number 5, is the thin stem. With five colors in the key, the sheet is a medium page for ages 6 to 8.
Two greens that touch
The leaves are a soft light green and the stem a deeper green. Because they touch, shade is all that keeps them apart, and merging them to fit a four-color key would lose the stem, so there is no easy version. The stem is also the narrowest numbered part. At 100 percent on A4 or US Letter paper its small number stays clear. A second page in each PDF shows the finished flower in color, handy for self-checking at a classroom table.
Skills practiced & tips
Point to the line under the key that says no number means leave white, so the petals stay clean.
Check whether a green part is number 3 or number 5 before coloring it: the leaves are light green and the stem is a darker green.
Color the stem with a sharp pencil, since it is the narrowest numbered part.
Pick a brown that is clearly darker than the orange so the rim stands apart from the pot.
Keep the answer page under the sheet until the flower is finished.
Flower fun facts
The common daisy folds its petals in at night and on dull, wet days, then opens them again in sunshine.
Terracotta, the orange clay used for many flower pots, means baked earth in Italian.
Classroom ideas
Grade 1: set out orange, brown, light green, yellow and green crayons and match each one to a number on the key before starting.
Grade 2: lay the light green and the green crayon side by side, talk about how they differ, then find the parts that use each one.
Grade 3: use the finished page to label the parts of a plant, then talk about why the pot holds soil.
Is the brown rim hard to tell from the orange pot?
Brown is 2 and orange is 1, and the rim sits right across the top of the pot, so a brown clearly darker than the orange keeps the two apart. With light green leaves, a yellow center and a green stem, that makes five colors on one medium page for ages 6 to 8.
Could the two greens be merged into one?
That would bring the key down to the four colors an easy page allows, but the leaves touch the stem and would run into it. So the daisy keeps all five colors on a single medium page.
Why do the petals have no numbers?
A daisy has white petals, so the eight petals are left unnumbered. The note under the key says no number means leave white, and the answer page shows them white.
Which green goes where?
Light green, number 3, is for the two leaves. The darker green, number 5, is for the thin stem between them.
