Blank Canvas Pumpkin With Short Bent Stem

A single wide pumpkin fills the page, drawn with clean black outlines and no face, so it is a blank canvas. A short curved stem sits at the top, bending slightly to one side. Smooth curved lines run from the stem down to the base and divide the pumpkin into rounded sections, with a tall oval section in the middle and wider ribs on each side. The shapes are large and open, which makes them easy for small hands to color in. Since the pumpkin has no carved features, kids can add their own jack-o'-lantern eyes, nose, and mouth with crayons or markers. You could also color each rib a different shade of orange, yellow, or even green to show how a pumpkin ripens. This free printable works well for fall art time, a classroom Halloween activity, or a quiet afternoon at home.
