Activities to Do With Apple Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. These printable sheets can serve as the base for creative crafts, educational games, and classroom decorations.
Apple Scented Art
Add a sensory element to your coloring session. Have your child color the apple pages as usual. Then, brush a thin layer of liquid glue over the colored area and sprinkle real cinnamon or apple pie spice on top. Shake off the excess and let it dry. Now the artwork smells just like a fresh apple pie.
Classroom Bunting
Print out several copies of the simple apple outlines. Have students color them in various shades of red, green, and yellow. Cut out the apples and punch two holes near the top stem. Thread a piece of twine or yarn through the holes to create a festive garland. This makes a perfect decoration for back-to-school season or autumn parties.
Parts of an Apple Puzzle
Use the “Apple Slice” coloring page for a science lesson. After coloring, help your child label the different parts (skin, flesh, core, seeds, stem, leaf). Glue the page onto a piece of thin cardboard or cardstock, then cut it into puzzle pieces. Toddlers can practice putting the apple back together while learning biological terms.
Orchard Scavenger Hunt
Color 5 to 10 different apples and cut them out. Hide them around the living room or backyard. Give your kids a basket and challenge them to find all the “ripe” fruit. You can write numbers or letters on the back of each cutout to turn the scavenger hunt into a math or reading game once they find them all.
DIY Popsicle Stick Puppets
Choose the character pages, like the “Kawaii Apple” or the “Apple with Sunglasses.” Color them in and carefully cut around the edges. Tape a popsicle stick to the back of each cutout. Kids can use these puppets to put on a fruit-themed play or storytelling session.
FAQs
What Is the Best Paper for Coloring Pages?
Standard printer paper works well for crayons and colored pencils. However, if you plan to use markers or watercolors, we recommend using cardstock or heavyweight paper to prevent the ink from bleeding through.
Are These Coloring Pages Free to Use?
Yes, these coloring pages are free for personal and educational use. You can print as many copies as you need for your home, classroom, or library activity hour.
How Can I Use These for Teaching?
Apple coloring pages are great for teaching the letter “A,” discussing healthy eating habits, or learning about the life cycle of plants. You can also use them for counting exercises by having kids color a specific number of apples.
Can I Resize the Images?
You can adjust the print scale in your printer settings dialogue box before printing. Select “Fit to Page” for a full-size image or reduce the percentage to create smaller cards or decorations.
What Colors Should I Use for Apples?
While red is the most common choice, apples come in many varieties. Encourage kids to use yellow (Golden Delicious), bright green (Granny Smith), or a mix of red and orange (Gala) to make their artwork realistic.
