Kids Discover Watermelon Fruit Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Lily and Tom found a huge, green watermelon. It was round and heavy. "I wonder what's inside," said Lily.

Tom tapped it. Thump-thump-thump. "It makes a sound!" he said. Lily tapped it, too. Thump-thumpity-thump. "Why does it do that?" she asked. "Is it hollow inside, like a drum?"

They decided to investigate. Maybe it was empty? They rolled it. Rumble, rumble. They shook it. Wobble, wobble. The sound was still a mystery.

Mom came to help. With a big knife, she cut the watermelon. Crrrr-unch!

✨ Unexpected Twist: It wasn't hollow at all! The secret was that the watermelon was full of sweet, pink juice and water! The thump-thump sound was the sound of all that wonderful water inside, just waiting to be eaten.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The large, central shape of the watermelon is a fantastic, simple area for a 3-5 year old to color. The faces of the children add a relatable, narrative element. The clear separation between rind, flesh, and seeds helps with color identification and placement. This fruit is big and fun to color!

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's find out what's inside the watermelon! You can color the outside with green stripes, or maybe just one solid color of green. What color is a watermelon on the inside? You can make it yummy pink or bright red! Don't forget to color the little seeds. You can also color the happy faces of the children who are so excited to eat this delicious fruit.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on standard letter-sized paper. This illustration has large open spaces, so it's very forgiving even on thinner copy paper. Ensure your printer is not set to 'draft' mode to get nice, solid black lines for your young scientist to color.

Recommended Tools

Washable dot markers are a super fun way to make the pink flesh of the watermelon. Crayons are great for making stripes on the rind. For the small seeds, a black colored pencil or a fine-tipped marker would work well with a little help from a grown-up.
