Wasp Building Nest Coloring Page

This storybook-style coloring page shows a brave wasp building its nest. The plump wasp with big eyes grips a ball of wood pulp in its legs, adding it to the nest's hexagonal cells. The nest hangs from a curly tree branch with fluttering leaves, vines, and distant trees in the background.

Fun facts

Wasps chew wood mixed with saliva to make strong paper for their nests.
Some wasps build nests that look like balls or honeycombs hanging from branches.
Wasps are great builders and protect their nests from danger.

Coloring tips

Use yellow and black stripes on the wasp's plump body for a realistic look.
Color the hexagonal cells on the nest light gray or brown to show the papery texture.
Add greens to the twisting branch, leaves, and vines for a lively forest scene.
