Fruit and Vegetable Colouring Pages

About these pages

An apple, a mango, bananas, grapes, a carrot, a pumpkin and a slice of watermelon. These are good first colouring pages: one big shape, one or two colours, and a result that looks right even when the crayon goes over the line.

Getting the most from them

Fruit pictures are also an easy way to teach colour names, because each fruit has "its" colour: red for the apple, yellow for the banana, orange for the carrot, green for the rind of the watermelon. Put the real fruit on the table beside the page if you have it, and let the child look, smell and then colour. Every page gives the name in Hindi as well, so the same sheet can be used for English and Hindi words.

Printing

Open a picture and press "Print the blank page". The sheet fits A4 paper upright, and only the drawing and a name line are printed. If you have no printer, a child can colour the picture on the phone or tablet instead: tap a colour, then tap a space. More tips, including how to print from a phone and how to save paper, are on how to print colouring pages.
