Waking Flowers Daffodil Spring Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Under the ground, it was still and quiet. A little daffodil bulb was snuggled deep in the earth, fast asleep. But the sunbeams started to push through the soil, whispering, "Wake up, little one! It's time."

The daffodil bulb felt a little tingle. She stretched a tiny green shoot upwards. Up, up, up she pushed, through the dark, crumbly dirt. It was hard work!

Finally, POP! Her little green head came out into the big, bright world. She saw blue sky and fluffy clouds. She felt a gentle breeze. Then, she opened her petals, one by one, into a beautiful, sunny-yellow trumpet. "Hello, Spring!" she trumpeted to all the other waking flowers.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The Picture Book Style is narrative and clear, which helps children 3-5 connect the image to the story. The personified flower with a face makes it relatable and friendly. The large, uncluttered shapes are perfect for developing hands that are still learning to control crayons and markers.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

This little daffodil is so happy to see the spring sun! Can you help her look bright and beautiful? Her trumpet-shaped middle and pretty petals would love a sunny yellow or orange color. Her long stem and the grass can be a lovely green. What color will you make the fluffy clouds in the sky? Maybe a soft blue all around them?

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This illustration prints beautifully on standard copy paper. For a special touch, try printing on slightly textured paper to give the finished artwork a more professional feel. Ensure your printer settings are on 'black and white' for the clearest possible lines to make this spring flower shine.

Recommended Tools

Crayons work wonderfully to give a soft texture to the petals and clouds. For a bolder look, washable fine-tip markers can be used by children who have more developed fine motor control to trace the outlines before coloring in.
