Poppy Flower Coloring Pages for Kids Ages 2 to 5

A field of poppies moves in waves whenever the wind passes through, the thin stems bending and springing back one after another. The petals are light, almost like tissue paper, and they open wide to catch the morning light. At the center sits a tight little cluster surrounded by fine threads, and that's where insects tend to pause on their way from bloom to bloom. Under the midday sun the petals stretch out even more, and as the afternoon fades they curl inward slightly, as if settling down to rest. While you color this page, try shading each petal with more than one tone — lighter near the middle, deeper toward the edge — so no two petals end up looking exactly the same.
