Snapdragon Garden Colouring

Two tall snapdragon spikes carry rows of playful dragon-mouth blossoms while a butterfly floats above the simple garden grass. Try red, pink, yellow, orange, white, purple, or a rainbow of different blossoms, with deeper colour tucked inside each flower mouth. Colour the narrow leaves and stems in two greens, decorate the butterfly with a bold pattern, and add pale blue to the cloud. Begin with the lowest open flowers and climb toward the small top buds, using short curved strokes to show every folded lip. 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—Snapdragon—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and centre.
