About this coloring page
This apple tree has a round, puffy canopy with five apples hanging in it, each with a little stem. Below the trunk, one more apple has fallen and sits on the ground line beside a small bump of grass.
The apples are small circles inside a big green space, so children practice coloring around them – or color the apples first and then fill the leaves. It is a tidy page with a clear story to talk about.
Color ideas
- Color all six apples red, then add a small white spot on each to look like a shine.
- Mix red, green and yellow apples in the canopy, since real apples come in all three colors.
- Make the fallen apple a little brown on one side, as if it has been lying in the grass for a day.
Did you know?
- Apple trees flower in spring, and bees carry pollen from blossom to blossom so the apples can grow.
- There are thousands of different kinds of apples, with names like Gala, Fuji and Granny Smith.
Try this
With a grown-up's help, cut a real apple across its middle instead of top to bottom. Look for the star shape made by the seed pockets, and count the points.
