Oleander Garden Colouring Page

A tall Oleander shrub shows clusters of broad five-petalled flowers and long narrow leaves in a sunny garden. Oleander is lovely to look at but should never be tasted. Try pink, red, white, peach, yellow, or two-tone petals, adding a deeper curved mark near each flower throat. Colour the lance-shaped leaves in several greens, the woody stems tan or brown, and the butterfly in a simple bright pattern. Colour one petal at a time around each five-part flower, then use long strokes from base to tip on every slim leaf. Begin with the biggest spaces using gentle pressure, then add stronger colour to the centres, folds, and other small details. Younger artists can use one solid shade in each shape, while older children can blend two related colours, add dots or stripes, and draw extra garden treasures in the open space. As you colour, say the flower name—Oleander—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and growing shape.
