Spotted Butterfly with Open Wings Coloring Page

Butterfly coloring page2 levels

Each of the four wings on this butterfly holds two spots, one big circle and one small, which makes eight in all. Seen from the front, the upper wings stretch up and out, and the lower pair curves down on either side of a slim oval body. A round head sits on top with two black eyes, a small smile and two thin antennae that curl outward.

Both versions have the same 14 spaces, so what changes is the line. A four-year-old can fill the big wings and spots of the easy version, drawn in bold outlines for ages 3 to 5, while the standard version uses finer lines for ages 6 to 8. To keep the small circles round, set the A4 or US Letter PDF to actual size with scaling turned off.

Frequently asked questions

Do the spots sit inside the wings?

Yes, two on each wing: one big circle and one small. Each of the eight spots is its own space, so the 14 are the four wings, eight spots, the body and the head, and the eyes are already solid black.

Which version should a four-year-old use?

The easy version. Its thick outlines make the large wings simple to fill, and the spots are big enough for a crayon.

Which wings are bigger?

The upper pair. They stretch up and out, while the lower pair curves down on either side of the body.
