Secret Perfume Night Lilies Coloring Pages for Kids

Coloring page story

All the flowers in the garden had a special smell. The roses smelled sweet. The lavender smelled sleepy. The stargazer lily had the most wonderful smell of all. A little snail named Shelly slowly, slowly slid up to the lily. "How do you make that yummy smell?" she asked.

The lily giggled. "It's a secret." Shelly watched the lily all day. She saw the sun warm her petals. She saw a bee visit for some nectar. (Unexpected Twist) At night, when the moon came out, the lily's scent became even stronger. "My secret," the lily whispered, "is that I save my best perfume just for the moon and my nighttime friends."

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The calm, magical theme is wonderful for a quiet-time or bedtime activity for 3-5 year olds. The large, graceful shapes of the lily and the simple forms of the snail and moon are easy for little hands to manage, promoting a sense of peace and accomplishment.
