Brave Grape Fruit Coloring Pages for Kids 3-5

Coloring page story

Gilda the Grape lived in a big, happy bunch. All her brothers and sisters were dropping off the vine to roll into the sunny fruit bowl. Plink! Plonk! Whee! But Gilda was scared. "What if I fall too fast? What if I get squished?" she whispered, holding on tight.

A big, wise grape next to her said, "It's okay to be scared. But sometimes, the scariest things are the most fun. Just let go."

Gilda took a deep breath. She looked down. It seemed so far! She closed her eyes. She felt wobbly. No, I can't! she thought. But then she remembered the wise grape's words. She took one more tiny breath, wiggled her stem, and... let go.

Tumble, tumble, roll...

✨ Unexpected Twist: Instead of a scary fall, it felt like the most wonderful slide! She didn't get squished. She landed gently on a soft strawberry, who giggled and said, "That was a great roll! Want to play?" Gilda wasn't scared anymore. She was proud.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The highly expressive faces are perfect for the 3-5 age group, as they clearly communicate the story's emotion of joy and pride. The two large, simple fruit shapes are easy for small hands to color in. The lack of a complex background keeps the task focused and achievable.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Gilda the Grape was so brave! Let's give her a wonderful color. Will she be a purple grape or a green grape? Her new friend is a strawberry – you can make it bright red with green leaves on top. You can even draw a happy sun in the sky to show what a beautiful day it is for these fruit friends to play!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this on any standard paper. The bold lines will show up well. You could even print two copies and let your child color one version of the grape as 'scared' and the other as 'brave' to talk about the story's emotions.

Recommended Tools

Crayons work perfectly for the large, open spaces of the fruit. Encourage your child to press hard to make the colors bright and brave, just like Gilda! For a fun texture, try using chalk pastels and smudging them with a finger (with supervision!).
