Smiling Frog on a Lily Pad Coloring Page

A round frog with a wide smile sits upright on a lily pad, seen from the front. Its eyes are large, and its front feet have spread toes. Above its head a dragonfly hovers with two pairs of wings.

The lines are thick and the shapes are simple, which makes it a good first page for younger children.

Ideas for coloring

• Colour the frog bright green, or try a yellow or blue frog for a change.
• Use a darker green for the lily pad and add a few lines for veins.
• Give the dragonfly a blue or red body and light wings.
• Add some water in blue around the lily pad with a pencil.

About frogs

Frogs are amphibians. They lay eggs in water, and the young, called tadpoles, live in the water before they grow legs. Adult frogs often live near ponds and eat insects such as flies and small dragonflies. Lily pads are floating leaves, and frogs can rest on them.
