PibblySquash and Gourds Basket Coloring Page
Ages 2–4Thick lines, big shapes
Autumn markets are full of funny-shaped vegetables, and this page gathers a few favorites into one big woven basket. A long-necked gourd, a ribbed squash, a bumpy little gourd and a round pumpkin are piled up together above a twisted rope rim, with two leaves resting at the bottom. Each shape is large and outlined with thick lines, so preschoolers can choose a different color for every vegetable without needing to stay inside tiny spaces. Yellow, green, orange and cream are the real colors, but spotted or striped squash are welcome too. It is a calm table activity while the grown-ups cook, and a simple way to talk about the harvest.
Try this: Bring a real squash or gourd to the table, feel its bumps together, and try to match its color on the page.
