About this coloring page

A smiling ladybug with big eyes and curled antennae crawls across a large leaf with clear veins. Its round shell is covered in spots, and its little legs grip the leaf. Daisy-like flowers with round centers and leaves bloom in the corners around it.

Coloring ideas

Classic red with black spots is the most famous ladybug look, but ladybugs also come in orange, yellow and even pink. Color the leaf in two greens, darker near the veins, and give the flowers bright petals in yellow, pink or purple.

Skills practiced

Count the ladybug's spots, then add more by drawing them to reach a target number. Ladybugs are helpful insects that eat aphids, which leads into a simple chat about insects that help gardens, and insects have six legs, another fun counting fact.

Printing tips

This page is perfect for spring and garden units. Crayons work well on the big leaf; colored pencils help with the smaller flower centers.
