Frog Catching a Fly
A frog flicking out its long tongue to snag a buzzing fly mid-air, with a few extra bugs hovering — a fun action coloring page.
Action is the name of the game on this page: a hungry frog sits on a rock with its mouth open wide and its long tongue stretched right out to catch a buzzing fly hovering near the tip, while a couple more bugs drift nearby. It captures the exact split second of the catch, which makes it lively and fun to color. Frogs really do snap their sticky tongues out and back in a fraction of a second, fast enough that the fly barely sees it coming. There is a nice mix here for everyone: the big frog body is easy to fill, while the small flies and the long tongue reward steadier hands. Use a bright pink or red for the tongue to make it the star, and tiny dark wings on the bugs. Print on US Letter or A4 and freeze the action in color.
Coloring Tips
- Make the tongue pop — color it a bright pink or red so the stretched-out tongue stands out from the green frog.
- Save the bugs for last — fill the big frog body first, then carefully color the small flies so your hand has room to steady.
- Add motion — draw a few light pencil lines behind the fly to show it buzzing and trying to escape.
