Horse Smelling a Flower Coloring Page

About this page

A horse leans its long neck down at the right edge of the page to sniff a single big daisy-style flower. The flower has a round middle, a ring of wide petals, and a tall stem with two leaves and a bit of grass at the base. The horse's mane is a heavy, wavy mass along the neck, and the tail hangs thin and low at the far left. Its body is a broad curve at the top left, with long, thin legs and rounded hooves, and a tuft of fur at the leg joints. Nothing else is on the page, so the pairing of animal and flower is easy to read. The gentle moment and large shapes make this a good easy page for kids who like flowers and a friendly nose-to-petal pose.
