Ladybug Coloring Page
A ladybug seen from directly above with its body resting flat on plain ground, its round shell split by one straight line down the middle with five big spots drawn as plain outlined circles, one small round head at the top with two big round eyes each holding one white highlight and a mouth drawn as one tiny curved line shorter than one eye, and three short rounded legs sticking out on 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 ladybug itself, and use a strong red. 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.
Encourage filling one area at a time before moving on. Ask one open question about the picture rather than correcting colors; an unusual color choice is a good sign of a child making decisions.
