About these sunflower coloring pages

Big petals and a round seed center make sunflowers a friendly first flower to color. The easy sunflower coloring pages, a tall single bloom and a potted one, suit ages 3 to 5. Ages 6 to 8 get a finch pecking at seeds and a girl beside blooms taller than she is. Hard and expert pages show a field at sunrise, a still life with a jug and peaches, a spiraling seed head and a bouquet in a honeycomb frame.

They suit a summer math or science activity: look at a real sunflower head and count the spirals of seeds turning each way, then color the expert close-up. Yellow, gold and orange crayons are all you need for the petals, with brown for the center.

Also in summer coloring pages.

Sunflower facts to share

  1. A sunflower head holds hundreds or even thousands of tiny flowers called florets, and each one in the center can become a seed.
  2. Young sunflowers turn to follow the sun across the sky, but most fully grown blooms stay facing east.
  3. Sunflower seeds grow in spirals, and the number of spirals is often a Fibonacci number such as 34 or 55.

Color idea: Color each petal with a yellow base and a touch of orange near the center, then dot the seed head in two browns.

Sunflower coloring page questions

Which sunflower page is easiest for toddlers?

The tall single sunflower has a big round center, large petals and two leaves on a thick stem, with almost no background. It works well with chunky crayons, and children can practice coloring the circle first and then the petals around it.

Can I use sunflower pages for a math lesson?

Yes. The expert close-up shows the seed center as spirals. Have older students count the spirals turning clockwise and counterclockwise on a real sunflower or photo, then compare the totals with the Fibonacci sequence.

What colors are sunflowers besides yellow?

Garden sunflower varieties also come in deep red, bronze, orange, cream and nearly white, often with a dark brown center. Trying a red or bronze version is an easy way to make the field page look different.
