It’s time to grab the coloring pencils and make a start on this collection of Bird Coloring Pages!
With so many beautiful birds in the world, it was difficult choosing just 30 birds to turn into coloring sheets and to feature in our printable coloring book. We have drawn birds of all shapes and sizes from a toucan to vulture, macaw parrot and the long legged flamingos and herons; making this collection a great resource for children learning about the different species of birds.
Birds are a fantastic subject for coloring and are open to experimentation with a variety of mediums. For example, to recreate the incredible colors often found in the plumes of peacocks and parrots, try oil pastels – they’re perfect for blending and creating color contrasts.
Once your children have colored their bird and put them on a big beautiful display, perhaps they could learn how to draw their very own little bird!
