Veterans Day Poppy Flower Coloring Page

One poppy, drawn as large as the page allows. The bloom fills the top two thirds of the sheet, and its outer edge dips in and out in soft rounded lobes rather than separating into cut petals.

The middle is a plain open circle with a ring of small notches around it, and long thin lines radiate out from that ring across the face of the flower. Those lines are the only fine work on the page, and a child can color straight over them without spoiling anything.

One stem curves down from the bloom to the bottom edge. A single leaf sits low on the left, long and deeply toothed along both sides.

Red and green finish this page. The flat red is what makes a poppy read as remembrance, and a second shade of pink or orange in the petals softens that more than it improves the picture.

This is the simplest sheet in the whole collection: three shapes, a heavy outline and nothing behind them. A three year old can finish it, and an older child can draw a sky in afterward.
