Easy tulip coloring page with a tall stem, large curved leaf, grass, and clouds.

Tall Tulip with Curving Leaf

A single tulip stands high on a slim stem, with one sweeping leaf, little grass tufts, and two puffy clouds.

🎨 How to color it

Color the tulip petals cherry red, the tall stem and sweeping leaf fresh green, the grass tufts lime, and the two clouds pale blue. Use chunky crayons or broad markers for the big petal and leaf shapes, and do not worry if color bumps over the thick black lines. Try making the tall leaf darker at the bottom and lighter near its pointed tip, like sunlight is sliding up it.

Every day after breakfast, Nora carried a little tin cup to the meadow patch and picked up useful things: a smooth pebble, a bent twig, a seed cap that clicked. She wanted to make a wind chime with her own hands for the quiet fence. One soft morning, the breeze went hush, and her cup stayed nearly empty. Even the grass only whispered, shh-shh, against her socks.

Because of that, Nora knelt beside the tallest tulip and lifted its long green leaf, the one everyone stepped around but never peeked under. There, cool as moonlight, sat a tiny spiral shell with a hole already in it. Because of that, she threaded it with grass, tied on her pebble and twig, and hung the chime herself. Ting, tick, hush. “I made that,” she whispered. Next time you see the tulip’s curving leaf, can you guess where the meadow kept its surprise?
