Willow coloring pages will introduce kids to a graceful tree often found along rivers, ponds, and lakes. Willows thrive in moist soil and usually grow near freshwater. There are more than 500 types of willow around the world, but the best-known is the weeping willow, with its long, slender branches that hang gently toward the ground.
For centuries, the willow has appeared in myths and fairy tales as a symbol of mystery and sadness. Early in the morning, drops of water can be seen on its leaves, looking like tiny tears. Scientists explain this as the tree releasing extra moisture, but in folklore, people believed it was the spirit of a young woman grieving by the water’s edge.
Beyond its beauty, the willow is also a useful tree. Remedies made from willow bark have been used to reduce fever, ease pain, and stop bleeding. Its flexible branches are often woven into baskets, furniture, and home decorations. Choose your favorite willow coloring pages and print them for free.
