Doodle-Filled Apples and Pears in a Woven Basket

Doodle-Filled Apples and Pears in a Woven Basket coloring page

Coloring guide

A round woven basket sits full of fruit, with a thick braided rope handle arching over the top. Inside are apples and pears, each filled with its own design. One apple has bands of zigzags and stripes, a pear carries a large mandala-style flower with curling swirls, and another apple on the right has small circles and rosettes. Two leaves with striped veins peek out near the handle, and a few stems stick up from the fruit. The basket itself is covered in squares and bands of Greek key spirals, zigzags, waves, dots, a checkerboard, and plain lines. It works well as a free printable for fall and Thanksgiving, and the sections are big enough for markers or colored pencils. Try giving each fruit a different color family, then use a neutral brown or tan mix on the basket so the patterns stand out. Kids can also name the shapes they find as they go.
