Colorful Spring Wildflowers

Spring is here at last.

The warm sun wakes up the sleeping earth.

Bright wildflowers begin to pop up in the green grass.

Wildflowers grow on their own in nature.

People do not need to plant them in a garden.

They bloom across open fields, parks, and quiet hills.

One cheerful flower is the yellow buttercup.

It has shiny petals that glow like tiny cups of sunshine.

Buttercups look lovely when drawn with bright yellow crayons.

Another pretty plant is the bluebonnet.

It has many small petals shaped like tiny blue hats.

When they grow together, they look like a soft blue sea.

Poppies are also fun to see in the spring.

They have bright red or orange petals that feel like paper.

Hungry bees and butterflies love to visit them for sweet nectar.

You can draw and color your own spring garden.

Grab your favorite crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

Which bright wildflower will you color first?
