Monarch Butterfly Colouring

This monarch spreads its wings above a few milkweed flowers, showing a pattern of long sections and little spots around the edges. Fill the large wing sections with orange. Try dark brown or black for the narrow bands, leave the small border spots white, and add pink flowers with green leaves. Work on one wing section at a time, then find the matching shape on the other side. Keep your strokes light near the little spots so their white centres stay clear. Choose your own colours too, and enjoy bringing this little insect scene to life!
