Cactus in Stormy Desert with Lightning Coloring Page

This coloring page features a tall cactus with fresh young arms in a desert after rain. Swirly storm clouds and lightning fill the sky. Sandy ground has puddles that reflect the cactus and small desert plants like prickly pear.

Fun facts

Cacti can store water in their thick stems to survive long dry spells in deserts.
Some cacti grow new arms or pads after rain helps them sprout.
Cacti live in hot deserts like the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern United States.

Coloring tips

Use bright yellows and oranges for lightning bolts to make them pop against the dark clouds.
Color the cactus green with lighter shades on new arms to show fresh growth.
Add blue to puddles and reflect the cactus colors in them for a shiny wet look.
