Protea Flower Colouring Page

A magnificent protea spreads pointed bracts around its textured centre beside a sturdy bud as a small bee buzzes in the sun. Choose pink, coral, red, cream, or yellow for the pointed bracts, with bronze, gold, or warm brown in the detailed centre. Use sage, blue-green, or forest green on the broad leaves, add yellow and brown to the bee, and colour the sun golden. Start inside the centre and move outward, colouring each pointed bract from its base to its tip with one confident stroke. 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—Protea—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and centre.
