About this butterfly coloring page
This is the same butterfly that DrawAlong teaches kids to draw, printed as clean outlines so it can be colored straight away. The tutorial builds it up over 26 guided lines, one at a time; here it arrives finished, with 16 separate areas waiting for crayons — the spots, the wings and the patches all get their own color.
Print it on any paper with crayons, pencils or markers. If you would rather skip the printer, the same butterfly can be colored online with tap-to-fill, and kids who want to draw it themselves first can follow the step-by-step butterfly tutorial. Coloring a shape you drew yourself lands very differently to coloring one that arrived finished.
Questions about this coloring page
How many areas are there to color in on the butterfly coloring page?
There are 16 separate areas, including the spots, the wings and the patches. Each one is a closed shape, so crayons, pencils and markers all stay where they are meant to.
Is this butterfly coloring page free to print?
Yes. It is free to print at home or in a classroom, with no account and nothing behind a paywall. There is also a three-page PDF pack with the coloring sheet, a step-by-step drawing guide and a trace page.
What age is this butterfly coloring page for?
It suits children aged 4 to 8. The shapes are closed and clearly separated, and the same butterfly is taught as a beginner drawing in 26 guided lines, so a child can color it today and draw it themselves later.
Can we color it online instead of printing?
Yes. The same line art can be colored in the browser with tap-to-fill, then downloaded or saved. Nothing needs installing.
