What's In This Picture

As you look at the page, you will find a cluster of five balloons held together by a large bow and curling ribbons. At the center is a classic plain heart balloon surrounded by its patterned friends. One features playful polka dots, while another has bold stripes.

You can also find a chevron patterned balloon and one with a beautiful swirl pattern. On either side, two butterflies are flying with their wings wide open, adding a touch of nature to this festive arrangement. The lines are clear and easy to follow, making it fun to fill in each section with a different shade.

Coloring Tips

To make the patterns stand out, try using contrasting colors for the shapes and the background of each balloon. For the chevron and striped balloons, alternating between two bright colors creates a striking look. You might use a softer pastel shade for the ribbons and bow so they do not distract from the bold patterns above.

The butterflies look lovely when colored with symmetrical patterns, matching the left wing to the right wing for a realistic effect. Using a variety of markers or pencils will help the different textures, like the swirls and dots, really pop off the page. You can even use a metallic pen for the ribbons to give them a shiny, silky appearance.

Did You Know?

Did you know that the first rubber balloons were made by Michael Faraday in 1824? He used them for his science experiments. Today, we use them mostly for parties and decorations because they are so much fun to look at. Butterflies are also amazing because they can see colors that humans cannot even imagine!

Try This!

You can count all the different patterns you see on the balloons and try to draw your own pattern on the plain heart. After coloring, you could even write a special message inside the plain heart to turn this page into a personalized card for a friend or family member.
