Chili Pepper Shopkin Cheerfully Sticking Out Her Tongue

A cheerful chili pepper character fills this page, with a curved stem on top and a jagged, leafy cap pointing out at both sides. The tall pepper body tapers down to a cute face with big round eyes, little lashes, a tiny nose and a wide open smile with the tongue sticking out. Small arms stick out at the sides as if it is waving or dancing, and two rounded feet sit at the bottom. A few little droplet shapes float around the face and hands, which adds a playful, wiggly feel. The large open areas on the body are easy for small hands to fill in. Try red or orange for the pepper, green for the stem and cap, then talk about how real chili peppers change color as they ripen. This free printable works well for a quick afternoon activity.
