Coneflower Garden Colouring

Three cheerful coneflowers raise their bumpy cone centres above drooping petals as a busy bee loops past. Choose purple, pink, white, yellow, orange, or red for the petals and warm orange, brown, or gold for the raised centres. Colour the stems and leaves in mixed greens, add yellow and brown to the bee, and keep the cloud mostly white. Fill the outlined cone bumps one at a time, then sweep colour downward along each broad petal to show its special drooping shape. Begin with the biggest shapes and use gentle pressure for pale colour, then press a little more firmly for strong details. Young artists can fill each section with one solid shade, 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—Coneflower (Echinacea)—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and centre.
