Peony Coloring Page (1 of 4)
Paeonia (peony) is a flower that is attractive for its supple and beautiful standing shape, as it is called ``peony when standing''. It is similar to peonies, but gives a more elegant and delicate impression. By carefully applying different layers of pale pink and white, you can express the silky texture of the flower petals. Refresh your brain with the delicate movements of your fingertips while feeling the calm air at the end of Spring.
This is a coloring book that can be used for recreation, nursing care facilities, day services, and brain training for the elderly. You can print for free in A4 size.
Meet the peony
The peony — shakuyaku — opens a huge, lush bloom packed with ruffled petals in early summer, long admired in Japan as a picture of elegant beauty. All those layered petals make a generous, rewarding sheet to color.
