Difficulty: Challenging
Areas to color: about 410

Coloring order

Color the rainbow bands at the top in order from red to violet and the sky light blue. Make the rose-covered garden arch and pillars cream, the roses rose pink, the leaves green, and the tall trees and bushes behind dark green.
Alternate coral, yellow, mint, turquoise and violet across the petals of Irisprout's wings and fan tail, and color the body cream. The wings have many sections, so they can be a separate session.
Color the flower buds and spiral vines on the head pink and green, the dewdrops on the neck light blue and the hooves gold. Finish with the butterflies, the fountain water on the right, the stone path and the big flowers at the bottom.

Questions to talk about

What is Irisprout so happy about, leaping in the air?
How many butterflies can you find in the picture?
If you made your own garden, what flowers would you plant?

Take it further

Put a clear glass of water on a sunny windowsill with white paper below it, and see whether a little rainbow appears.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
