Waterfall With Rainbow And Butterflies Coloring Page

A rainbow arcs through the spray in front of the falls, and half a dozen butterflies of different sizes drift across the picture, each one drawn with clear open wing panels waiting to be filled. Flowers grow along the bank at the bottom. The lines are thick and the shapes are big and separate, which makes this one of the easiest pages in the waterfall set and a reliable choice for children of about four to eight.

The rainbow gives you a ready-made color lesson. Work through red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet in order from the outside of the arc inward, and let your child name each band as they go. The butterflies are the place to be free instead, since no two need to match. Keep the waterfall behind them very pale so the rainbow and the wings stay the brightest things on the sheet.

Rainbows really do appear at waterfalls, and reliably so. You need the sun behind you and water droplets in front, which is exactly the arrangement that permanent spray provides. That is why some falls produce a rainbow at the same time almost every sunny morning.
