An Apple Tree's autumn Tale A Sharing Coloring Page

Coloring page story

On the hill stood a little apple tree with five big, red, crunchy apples. A little boy came and picked one for his snack. Crunch, munch! A little girl came and picked one for her mummy. Plop! into the basket. A friendly farmer came and picked one for his horse. Nicker, nicker! A cheeky bird pecked at one for its dinner. Peck, peck! That left one perfect apple, shining in the sun. A tiny field mouse climbed the tree and nibbled it all up. The apple tree was happy. It had shared its autumn treats with everyone.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'Flat Cartoon' style is ideal for 3-4 year olds because it presents all the story's characters clearly and on one plane, without confusing perspective. This makes it easy for children to identify and color each element—the tree, the apples, the boy, the girl, the bird, and the mouse. This autumn harvest scene also subtly encourages counting.

This page has many small characters. Ensure your printer has enough black ink for the outlines to be bold and clear. Printing on a smooth paper surface will make it easier for children to color the smaller shapes of the bird and mouse without difficulty.

Recommended Tools

A mix of tools would be fun here. Chunky crayons for the large tree outline, and fine-tipped washable markers or colored pencils for the smaller character outlines like the children and animals. This allows for both broad coloring and more detailed work.
