A Butterfly Fairy and a Moth Fairy coloring pages

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawings are of a couple of Butterfly Fairies.

Erina the Butterfly Fairy

Erina is a Butterfly Fairy. She is seen here on a branch of a tree. She is resting after a full day of helping the butterflies pollinate flowers. Butterflies also receive protection from Butterfly Fairies. They can use their magic to confuse a bird or other predator, like a frog. 

Polilla the Moth Fairy

Did you know that moths are also pollinators? Some flowers are primarily pollinated by moths... at night. Interesting fact, Moth Fairies have feathery antennae, like most moths have. However, Butterfly Fairies rarely have any antennae.  Moth Fairies can light up the end of their wand to attract moths. Moth Fairies have large eyes for seeing at night.

Leprechaun Couple with Pot of Gold and Peacock Butterfly

 Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Since it is the day before Saint Patrick's Day, I drew a 

Leprechaun couple.

Leprechaun Couple with Pot of Gold and Peacock Butterfly

Have you ever thought that maybe leprechaun gold was leprechaun-sized? With the current price of gold at $5,022.80 per ounce... this little pot of probably 250 ounces of gold would still be a LOT of money.  Do the math: 

250 oz of gold x $5022.80 = $        ?      

See below for the answer... but try doing the problem first. Calculator allowed.

But first, let me tell you about the Peacock Butterfly. It is a species found all over Europe, the UK, and, of course, Ireland. It has bright eye spots on its wings to startle predators. 

NOTE: This drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Holidays," then scrolling down to the Saint Patrick's Day section. This drawing will be at or near the bottom of that small list. 

Now, scroll down and search for the answer to how much this little pot of leprechaun gold might be worth. But be sure to calculate the problem first. OR, at least estimate it by, in your head, multiplying 5 by 25 and adding 4 zeros to the end of the number.

Starships leaving Orbit

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is a simple drawing of starships of the future.

Starships leaving Orbit

These are clearly starships of the future. They are of our future, or they are from a different sentient civilization. We, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, believe that God has millions of worlds peopled by His children. The ships above, IF they are Terran ships, then mankind has developed faster-than-light travel, because these planets and moons are clearly not from our solar system.  These two starships are leaving the orbit of the nearby planet.

Moabosaurus and other Animals from Cretaceous Moab including an Early Iguanodon

 You have found my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing that I have done is of Cretaceous animals near Moab, Utah. 

OK, they were found near Moab, Utah. 

In fact, the largest dinosaur found in the area is called Moabosaurus. 

Moabosaurus on a River Plain

Moabosaurus was a large animal. But it was far smaller than its large Titanosaur cousins. That being said, these Sauropods were still the largest animals in their Early Cretaceous environment. It was 33 feet or 10 meters long. It weighed around 22,000 lbs. or 10,000 kg. It appears that earlier Sauropods had died off in the area or never lived there near what is now the Moab, Utah area. 

Moabosaurus was named after Moab, Utah, by paleontologists from Brigham Young University.  Brooks Britt was the lead BYU paleontologist in this study. The scientific name of this Sauropod is Moabosaurus utahensis. 

There are other dinosaurs in the background. BYU student researcher Stefan Arriscorreta recently presented research that showed that Iguanodons evolved 25 million years earlier than previously thought. They lived in the same area and at the same time as Moabosaurus - around 125 million years ago. Stefan found Iguanodon eggs in the area. This area is now a desert, but back then it was a wet river plain. 

There are two Pterosaurs in the sky. They are also from the Early Cretaceous. They are Uktenadactylus. This was a large Pterosaur with a wingspan of up to 29 feet or 9 meters wide. That is a big flying reptile!

If you are wondering why I included flowering plants, it is because new research is showing that flowering plants were flourishing as far back as 125-130 million years ago. New research has also shown that grass evolved in the Early Cretaceous. 

NOTE: This drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the "Paleontology" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the "Mesozoic Life" section. If you are accessing this page in March of 2026 then the title of this drawing will be at the bottom of that Mesozoic section. Have fun coloring!

Classes of Animals Science Activiy

 You have found my free coloring pages blog.  But is not ONLY coloring pages I have drawn, because I am a retired junior high Science teacher and I have made a Science activity for you!

Today's new post is a Science activity that you can do at home. This activity is based on the four animal drawings I have posted recently. Look at the example. Write the name of an animal you see, then write the name of its class. So, "elk" is a mammal of the Class "Mammalia."  So, you need to write on the lines:       elk          Mammalia.     You will probably need to do some research on the classes of animals, but the names of the classes for each picture are on the first page below.

Classes of Animals activity page 1

Classes of Animals activity page 2

Here are the pictures or coloring pages that go with this activity. 

They were posted previously and recently.  The worksheets are found by clicking on the

"Science Readings & Worksheets and Phonics" button. To make your life easier, I 

have posted the 4 coloring pages links right after the worksheet links. 

The drawings or coloring pages were posted previously. So they can 

also be found by clicking on the button labeled: "Animals." The Ugly Duckling drawing will

also be found under the "Birds" button. New drawings are at the bottom of the list, 

so if you are accessing this page in February or March 2026, then you will find these

drawings and the worksheet at the bottom of the list. I hope you enjoy coloring the coloring pages 

that I drew for you. AND if you decide to do the activity, then have fun doing that as well.

Ocean Animals

Ocean Animals coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 3000 coloring pages for you to print and color.

Today's new drawing is of Ocean Animals.

Ocean Animals

This is a simple drawing of a few animals that live in the ocean. This drawing includes animals from several classes. The setting is supposed to be off the west coast of North America, like off the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. Below is a list of the animals. See if you can find them on the coloring page.

Sea horses by some kelp. Kelp is actually not a plant nor is it an animal either. Kelp is in Class: Protista.  Sea horses are not invertebrates. They are actually a type of bony fish. There are some other bony fish in the drawing as well. 

The sea anemone LOOKS like a plant, but they are a type of animal.

Clownfish live in or near sea anemone.

Marine worms or sea worms live on beaches and underwater in the ocean. Beach-dwelling worms are also called sandworms, albeit not the size of the enormous desert sandworms in Dune. 

There are a couple of types of coral in this coloring page. Coral is not a rock, nor is it an animal. Coral is a type of marine animal. By the way, one of the corals is brain coral. Do you see which one?

Starfish are seen in this drawing. Starfish or sea stars are members of Class: Asteroidea. That is a cool name. The starfish live on the sea floor.

There is also a clam, a sand dollar, a sea urchin, and a crab on the sea floor in this drawing. You will need to look up the class of animal for each of them if you do the Classification activity. That acticity will be posted tomorrow. 

There is a dolphin and a whale. They are NOT fish. Do you know what class they are in? Here is a hint: they both nurse their young with milk.  The whale is a sperm whale, and it is actually blurry because it is far in the distance. Sperm whales are actually huge and can reach a length of up to 68 feet, or around 20+ meters. 

The shark is not a bony fish. Sharks have cartilage for bones. When ancient sharks died, the only thing we find is their teeth. Look up what class sharks are in. 

There is a mushy translucent dome-shaped invertebrate called a Portuguese Man-O-War that swims or floats in the sea. It has tentacles that can sting you badly. Can you figure out which animal I am talking about?

The birds include a laughing gull. They have a black head. There is also a diving Blue-footed Boobie.  Boobies dive bomb to catch fish that are visible from up high in the air. There are other birds far in the distance.  

The only type of large reptile that survived the dinosaur extinction was sea turtles. 

There are three types of swimming animals with tentacles in this drawing. They are in the same class. They are the octopus, the squid, and the nautoloid. A nautilus looks like the now extinct ammonite. 

NOTE: This drawing will be part of a Science Classification activity. For now, it is a sea life or ocean life coloring page. It can be found in printable form by clicking on the "Animals" button. Then scroll down to the end of the list. IF you are accessing this site in February or March 2026, then you will find the title of this drawing at or near the bottom of the Animals list. 

Ugly Duckling discovers He's a Swan

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is part of a set of animal drawings.

THIS is what it would look like for the Ugly Duckling to discover that he was a swan. These are still animals in a  North American river, pond, or lake.  

Ugly Duckling discovers He's a Swan

I love this story. For some reason, an over-large egg winds up in a duck's nest. The egg hatches, and the "duckling" looks different from the other ducklings. He is rejected and persecuted because he looks different. To the ducks, different is ugly. Yet when the "duckling" matures after a long, lonely year, he discovers that he is actually a beautiful swan. 

I love the song from the old movie, Hans Christian Anderson.  Look it up on YouTube. It's a great song! Like the story, it shows that someone who starts out seemingly inferior or different and seemingly ugly can grow into an exceptional or beautiful being. 

Since this will be part of the Classification Science activity, here is the list of animals to look for:

swans, ducks, fish, butterfly, dragonfly, bee, grebe, and a mammal. Do you spot the mammal? 

NOTE: This drawing will be used in a science activity. For now, it is just a coloring page of beautiful swans on a pond or lake. This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the button labeled "Birds" and then scrolling down to the bottom of the list of bird drawings. IF you are accessing this site in February or March 2026, then the title will be at or near the bottom of the list of "Bird" drawings.
