Three daisies with broad rounded petals, leaves along the stems and a small bee visiting one of them. The petals repeat, which is what makes flower drawings good practice: a child learns the filling motion on the first petal and then repeats it a dozen times, and by the last one they are noticeably neater than they were at the start. The centres are large circles that take a single color. The bee is the only small element and the only place any care is needed, so it is worth leaving until last. White petals with yellow centres is the realistic answer, but daisies colored in every shade going are considerably more interesting to look at. On paper the stems are the thinnest lines here and a soft pencil will smudge across them, so if a child is working slowly and resting a hand on the page, a sheet of scrap under their palm is worth the trouble.
Color suggestions
- White petals, yellow centres
- Green stems and leaves
- Yellow and black bee
- Or three daisies in three different colors
Did you know?
- A daisy is not one flower but hundreds. The yellow centre is packed with tiny individual flowers, and each white petal is another one.
- The name comes from day's eye, because the flower closes its petals at night and opens them again in the morning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are repeating petals good practice?
Because the same motion gets repeated a dozen times in one drawing. Children are usually visibly neater on the last petal than the first, which is hard to achieve on a page where every shape is different.
Which part should be left until last?
The bee. It is the smallest thing on the page and the only part that needs any care, so it is better attempted once the child has warmed up.
