This 88-dot tulip begins at the top of the bloom and grows all the way down to its leaves. Complete the flower cup first, add the overlapping petals, follow the long stem, and finish with the broad leaves. Five manageable stages help young artists keep their place.
1–18 — The Flower Cup
Connect dots 1 through 18 around the top of the tulip. Use smooth strokes to form the curved cup shape and its pointed upper edge.
Fun fact!
Many tulip flowers close during cool nights and open again when daylight brings warmer temperatures.
