Heart With Flowers Coloring Page

A garland of roses and daisies wraps around a large open heart on this heart with flowers coloring page. The flowers start at the bottom point and climb both sides, thick with leaves and small round berries. A single daisy on a slim stem grows up through the middle of the heart. Two butterflies rest near the top, and a meadow of tulips and small daisies fills the ground.

The roses and daisies suit kids from about 6 to 12. The whole page takes around 40 minutes, but the open heart gives tired hands a rest between the busy parts.

A page with busy parts and calm parts

The garland is the detailed side of this drawing. Roses overlap leaves, and berries tuck in between the petals. The heart itself is the opposite, one big smooth shape with a thin line inside its edge. That mix makes the page feel balanced, and it lets a child choose where to spend their time.

Younger kids can fill the heart and the tulips, then stop. Older ones often go straight for the roses. Each rose has three rings of soft petals around a little swirl, so it is a small puzzle on its own.

Heart with flowers coloring page color ideas

A red heart with pink and orange roses feels warm and classic. For something gentler, make the heart pale pink and let darker flowers stand out against it. A blue sky behind everything keeps the page fresh, like a spring morning.

• Pink roses, white daisies and a soft red heart
• Purple and yellow flowers with a lavender heart
• A cream heart with a full rainbow of roses

Use two or three greens for the leaves. A light green and a dark green side by side make the garland look thick and leafy. One flat green can turn it into a single blob. Mix them up.

Coloring a rose so it looks round

Start at the center of the rose, where the swirl sits, and use your darkest shade there. Move out to the middle ring with a lighter shade. Finish on the outer petals with the lightest one. Real roses look darker deep inside, so this small trick gives the flower some depth.

Color the leaves after the flowers. Any green that strays onto a petal is hard to hide, while a little pink on a leaf hardly shows. A second sheet under the page keeps markers from bleeding through.

Now for the fun part. Butterflies are a nice place to play. Their wings have circles, and those can be any color at all. Try to match both wings, just like the real thing.

The flower with a day's eye

Here is a fun fact to share while you color. The word daisy may come from day's eye. The common lawn daisy closes its whole flower head at night and opens again in the morning, a bit like an eye waking up.

Next time you walk past a lawn with daisies on it, have a look in the early morning and again after dark. It makes an easy science project, and all you need is a notebook and a flashlight.

Make it a gift

The middle of the heart is an open space with plenty of room for a message. Write a line such as "You help me grow" along the left side of the stem. It suits a teacher, a grandparent or a mom, and it took you no money at all.

You can also cut out the heart with its garland attached and glue it to colored paper. The flowers will stick out past the edge, so the shape looks far fancier than a plain paper heart.
