Caterpillar coloring pages

Caterpillar coloring pages help kids notice one small part of a butterfly’s life. Caterpillars hatch from tiny eggs on leaves and start out as soft, wiggly creatures with many little legs. Most of their day is spent slowly crawling and chewing on leaves.

As they grow, caterpillars shed their skin several times. Each time, they come out a little bigger than before. After a while, they form a chrysalis and stay very still while an amazing change happens inside.

You can print a page or download an image and let children color these quiet moments in nature, imagining caterpillars resting, eating, and getting ready for what comes next.
