Windy Day Dance adobe butterfly Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Whooosh! The desert wind came to play, blowing the sand in little twirls. The other butterflies held onto leaves with all their might. But Addie the Adobe Butterfly loved the wind.

Because her wings were the color of the earth, she felt like she was part of the wind's dance. She let the breeze lift her up, and she tumbled and swooped and swirled with the blowing leaves. "Whee!" she chirped. She wasn't fighting the wind; she was dancing with it. The grumpy grey rocks seemed to smile as they watched the little brown butterfly have so much fun.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The motion lines are clear, separate elements that children can trace or color, introducing a new artistic concept in an accessible way. It's a great way to channel their own energy onto the page.
