This printable sunflower coloring page shows one large bloom with a small bee resting on a petal. The flower has layered petals around a detailed seed center, plus broad leaves and a simple stem. The line work is organic and medium in density, so the page feels full without looking too busy. There is enough open space in the petals and leaves for smooth coloring, while the bee and seed head add smaller areas for careful work.
This free pdf suits children around ages 7 to 12 and also works well for anyone who wants a calm nature motif. It is a good choice for home, classroom folders, quiet table time, or a waiting room activity. Beginners can enjoy the clear outlines, while more confident kids can spend longer on the wing veins, seed textures, and petal shading.
Try light and dark yellow across the petal layers to show depth, then use green tones on the leaves and stem. The bee gives a nice contrast with striped sections and soft wings, so the whole coloring page stays lively but easy to follow.

Coloring tips for this sunflower printable
- Use two yellow tones on the layered petals, with a deeper shade near the seed center and a lighter shade at the tips.
- Color the seed head in small circular areas with brown and ochre to make the center look textured and round.
- Give the bee strong black-and-yellow stripes, then keep the wing veins light so the wings still look airy.
- Add olive green and light green to the broad leaves to help the veins and curved edges stand out.
- If you use markers on this pdf, place a scrap sheet under the page, especially when filling the dark center.
