Finding a four-leaf clover is supposed to bring luck – and here you can make your own! This clover coloring page shows four big heart-shaped leaves with fine veins. Print it for free and share some luck at New Year's.
Why this clover is more than it seems
At first glance it's a simple clover with four heart-shaped leaves. But every leaf has a center vein and little branches that split it into many small sections – great for blending light and dark greens. Tiny highlight lines near the edges show where the light hits. The curved stem at the bottom can be shaded to look almost 3D.

Why are four-leaf clovers so rare?
A clover normally has three leaves. Only once in a long while does a quirk of nature give it a fourth – that's why you can search a whole meadow and never find one. Because it's so rare, the four-leaf clover is a popular lucky charm, and in Germany people give clovers as gifts on New Year's Eve. Clover is a legume, like peas and beans, and tiny bacteria on its roots help add nitrogen to the soil. That's why farmers sometimes plant it to make their fields healthier.
Ideas with your lucky clover
