Caterpillar Coloring Page
A caterpillar lying along plain ground seen from the side, its body made of six big round segments in a row, one round head at the front with two round eyes and two thin antennae, and three short stubby legs under each side. From the collection Bugs & Butterflies Coloring Pages for Preschoolers.
Built for ages 3 to 5: one clear subject with a few large parts to fill, a 7-point outline that forgives wobbles, and no detail smaller than a crayon tip, so a four-year-old can finish it neatly in one sitting. More for this age: 4 year olds, 5 year olds, kindergarten.
Print at 100% on plain white paper. Free for personal and classroom use under our terms.
How to color it
Start with the biggest area, the caterpillar itself, and use any color you like, since these come in many colors, or leave the body white and color only the details. Fill it before moving on to the smaller parts.
This is a preschool page with a 7pt outline: thick enough to forgive, with a few distinct areas to fill. Regular crayons or washable markers both work well.
For a small challenge, ask your child to make the main subject one color and everything else a different color.
