Monarch Butterfly Coloring Page
Do you know someone who loves butterflies? With their brilliant orange and black wings, monarch butterflies are probably the most iconic of these beautiful insects. Their colors are more than decoration. The bright orange surrounded by black, almost creating a stained glass effect, is meant to warn birds and other animals that it’s toxic to eat.
Did you know that the colors in a butterfly’s wings are mostly caused by melanin, the same thing that creates our own skin tones, tans, and freckles? Their wing patterns are almost always symmetrical, except for small differences from side to side – kind of like us!
Ready to color your monarch butterfly? Grab your most vivid orange and go! We like to experiment with contrast. Next, pick your background colors. A light blue makes a great sky color, and yellow or red flowers really pop. Or try a yellow background and purple flowers!

You might color the background first. Then add your orange and other bright colors in later. This can help prevent smudges if you’re using soft crayons or pastels. But if you’re really ambitious, try printing this on a heavier weight paper and using watercolors!
