Pumpkin colouring page
A pumpkin to print on A4 paper or to colour on the screen. Easy
How to use this page
On paper: tap "Print the blank page". Only the picture is printed, with a line for the child's name. On screen: tap a colour, then tap a part of the picture to fill it. "Undo" takes back the last fill, and white rubs a part out. Nothing is saved; the picture is fresh each time you open it.
Colour ideas
Pumpkins are orange, yellow or green. The stalk is green or brown.
Press lightly for the main colour and harder along one side to make the fruit look round. A small patch left white near the top looks like light shining on the skin. Older children can draw the bowl, basket or plate around it.
