Minimalist sunflower coloring page with layered petals, a curved stem, and one large veined leaf.

Curving Sunflower with One Big Leaf

A tall sunflower bends on a smooth stem, holding a layered round bloom above one oversized leaf with simple veins.

🎨 How to color it

Give the sunflower petals a sunny yellow, the center a soft brown, the curving stem a grass green, and the single big leaf a lighter green. For little hands, use chunky crayons and fill the large leaf and long stem first, without worrying about crossing the bold lines. Try making the tucked-back petals pale yellow and the front petals bright yellow so the flower looks gently layered.

In the hush-hush morning, Kiko tipped his warm face toward one shiny dew drop. “Sip, sip,” he whispered.

He bent his long stem past his big leaf. Oof—one yellow petal brushed the dust. Under the leaf, where nobody looked, a tiny ladybug shivered beside three dry crumbs.

Kiko gave the dew drop to the ladybug instead. Plink! Her wings opened like red buttons. Kiko came back with no drink, but his leaf felt cool and happy. Next time you see his big leaf, can you find the secret from the hush-hush morning?
