Bird of Paradise Colouring

An amazing Bird of Paradise flower stretches its beak-shaped bloom and pointed petals above tropical leaves. Choose brilliant orange and yellow for the fan petals, blue or purple accents, green for the stem, and rich greens for the broad leaves. Give the butterfly a tropical colour pattern, keep the cloud pale, and use a few different greens in the grass. Colour each long pointed section from base to tip, using strong contrasting colours so the unusual bird-like flower shape stands out. Begin with the biggest shapes and use gentle pressure for pale areas, then press a little more firmly for bold details. Young artists can colour each section with one solid shade, while older children can blend two related colours, add simple dots or stripes, and invent a sunny sky or extra garden details in the open space. As you colour, say the flower name—Bird of Paradise—and notice the special petal, leaf, and stem shapes that help this flower stand out.
