Hummingbird and Flower Coloring Page

This hummingbird coloring page shows a small bird hovering in mid-air, its wings stretched wide and its long, thin beak reaching into the center of a five-petal flower. The clean outlines make it a good medium-difficulty project for kids ages 6 to 10 who are ready to try a little more detail than a simple shape.

Coloring ideas

• Give the hummingbird a bright emerald-green back and a soft white belly, then add a splash of red or orange on the throat.
• Color the flower petals in a warm yellow, pink, or purple, and use a contrasting color for the center.
• Try a light blue or gray background to suggest the sky, and add a few small dots or dashes to hint at motion.
• Use a metallic or shimmering marker on the wings for a fun, eye-catching finish.

Quick hummingbird fact

Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backward. They beat their wings up to 53 times per second, which is why they can hover in place while feeding on nectar. After coloring, ask your child to count the wingbeats out loud or draw a second hummingbird in a different pose to compare.
