Spring Cherry Blossom Branch

Delicate and pretty, this slender tree branch is covered in cherry blossoms, each a five-petaled flower with a little round center. A few buds have not yet opened, a couple of petals drift gently down, and a small leaf or two complete the branch. Cherry trees burst into bloom for only a week or two each spring before their petals fall like soft pink snow — which is exactly why people travel to see them. The many small flowers make this a wonderfully calming, almost meditative page, best suited to older children, teens, and adults who enjoy coloring fine, repeated shapes. Younger kids can still join in by filling the larger petals and the branch. Reach for classic pinks and whites, or reinvent the whole tree in a color of your choosing. Print it on US Letter or A4 and slow down with each tiny blossom.
