Bluebell Woodland Colouring

Two arching Bluebell stems carry rows of nodding bells above long narrow leaves while a smiling snail explores the woodland floor. Try violet-blue, deep purple, pale blue, pink, or white on the hanging bells, and use a slightly darker shade near each flower opening. Colour the leaves and grass in woodland greens, make the mushroom red, tan, or orange, and decorate the snail's spiral shell. Start with the small top buds and follow each curved stem downward, colouring one bell at a time with strokes that point toward its frilly rim. Begin with the biggest spaces and use gentle pressure for pale colour, then press a little more firmly for bold details. Young artists can use one solid shade in each section, while older children can blend two related colours, add dots or stripes, and draw extra garden details in the open space. As you work, say the flower name—Bluebell—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and centre.
