Large rounded scales with playful patterns – free coloring page to print · Doodleur

A black and white line drawing of large interlocking scales. Each scale contains a different simple pattern, including polka dots, stripes, waves, hearts, stars, clouds, and small flowers. The outlines are thick and rounded with no background elements.

Coloring tips

Use a different bright color for each scale to make the patterns pop, like yellow for stars and pink for hearts.
This page is excellent for toddlers and preschoolers aged 3–5 because the extra-thick lines help them stay inside the edges.
Try using markers for the small shapes inside the scales and crayons for the larger areas to get a nice variety of textures.
