Coloring order

Color Leafy's round face and chubby body a fresh lime green first, then fill the middle of the belly with a soft pale yellow.
Use a deeper green for the two sprouts on the head and the big leaf-shaped wings, shifting the shade a little along each leaf vein.
Give each leaf of the clover at the tail tip a different green, then finish the eyes and the smile in your darkest color.

Questions to talk about

What do Leafy's wings remind you of? Can you find out?
What might the sprouts on Leafy's head grow into?
Have you ever planted a seed or looked after a little plant?

Take it further

Set green paper leaf shapes or leaves you found outside next to Leafy's wings, talk about what looks alike, and draw one leaf you like.

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.
