Jumping Cholla Cactus Scattering Seeds in Windy Desert

This coloring page features a jumping cholla cactus segment breaking off and scattering seeds over desert sands. Swirling wind lines show the breeze, with more cholla bushes in the background. Clean lines on a white background make it easy for kids to color.

Fun facts

Jumping cholla cactus segments can detach easily and stick to animals to spread seeds.
Cholla cacti grow in hot deserts like the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern US.
Cholla spines help protect the cactus from animals and store water inside.

Coloring tips

Use light green for the cactus bodies and darker green for spines to show texture.
Color the falling seeds and sand in tan or yellow to match the desert ground.
Add blue or gray swirls to the wind lines for a breezy feel.
