Coloring Pages of Butterflies
Coloring pages can be a great way to relax and unwind. Coloring is a very calming activity and it can also help improve your memory and concentration. Coloring activities can help you relax and unwind as well as give you other benefits as well.
Coloring has been shown to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It also helps people with ADHD focus better on their work because the activities are not overly stimulating right away. I have a ton of free coloring pages here on the website so make sure you check them out!
In addition, coloring can increase the production of endorphins in your body by up to 40%. Endorphins are chemical compounds released naturally by the brain in response to intense pleasurable activities like exercise, listening to music, eating chocolate or any other pleasurable activity.
When a child or adult is coloring, they can also practice mindfulness and their fine motor skills. For younger children, talking about the butterflies can also introduce science and nature lessons and create a language rich environment.
Or, not to be a total buzzkill here….just have fun! Coloring can be just plain fun with no added feature.

I recommend using cardstock so that you can then cut them out and use them as actual bookmarks. Makes a great gift too. Kids can color them, then include them with a book they are giving as a gift.
