Dahlia Garden Colouring Page

A round dahlia shows off its tidy layers of petals as a small bee circles the garden. Use pink, purple, burgundy, orange, yellow, or a two-colour blend across the broad petal rings, and make the leaves green. The bee can be yellow and brown or black, while the grass can alternate between light and medium green. Begin at the centre and colour one ring at a time, repeating your chosen shades so the dahlia develops a neat, balanced pattern. 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—Dahlia—and notice the special petal, leaf, and stem shapes that help this flower stand out.
