A smiling snail with a spiral shell climbs the stem of a big flower on this progress not perfection coloring page. Above it, the words "PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION" stand in capital hollow letters on three lines. The flower has wide rounded petals and a round center, with a leaf on each side of its stem. It grows from a small grassy mound with tufts of grass. The open shapes make it a quick page for older kids, teens and adults.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the words Progress Not Perfection in big hollow letters at the top of the page, above a smiling snail slowly climbing up the stem of a big flower that grows from a small grassy mound, with a few leaves on the stem, for older kids and adults to color, drawn with clean outlines, the whole flower and the mound kept small enough to leave a wide white margin below them, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

How to use it

Adults who color to slow down can finish it in one sitting and use the large petals to practice blending two colors. A counselor working with teens can talk about the snail's slow climb up the stem, and the finished page can go on a desk or a locker door. To print a phrase a student picks, create your own progress page.
