Creative Rainbow Lilies Coloring Pages for Artists

Coloring page story

In a garden filled with red, yellow, and blue flowers, there was a lily that was pure white. "I wish I had a color," sighed the white lily one morning. A little girl named Mia was painting in the garden. She painted a red rose and a yellow sunflower. Then, she saw the white lily. She didn't have any white paint.

She thought for a moment. (Unexpected Twist) Instead of painting the lily, she dipped her brush in the water pot and gently flicked droplets onto the lily's petals. Plink, plonk. When the sun shone on the tiny water drops, they sparkled with all the colors of the rainbow! The lily gasped. "I have all the colors!" she cheered.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is very accessible for 3-5 year olds. The lily flower is a large, simple object to color. The concept of adding 'colors' to the droplets is a fun, imaginative prompt that doesn't require precise motor skills, encouraging creative expression over accuracy.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

This lily started out white, but now it can have all the colors! Can you see the little water drops on the petals? You can color each little circle a different color of the rainbow—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple! You can leave the rest of the lily white, or give it a very light color. What color will you make the paintbrush?

Coloring Page Printing Tips

If you plan to use watercolors, printing on heavy cardstock or watercolor paper is essential to prevent the paper from buckling. For crayons or markers, standard copy paper is perfectly fine.

Recommended Tools

This page is perfect for watercolors! Using a small brush to dab color into each droplet is a great activity. Alternatively, fine-tipped markers or colored pencils allow for more control when coloring the small rainbow circles on the lily.
