Peeled Banana Fruit with a Happy Smile
Coloring guide
Meet a cheery banana standing upright with its peel opened into four soft flaps at the bottom. It has big round eyes with shiny highlights, little curved eyebrows, and a wide open smile with a small tongue inside. The stem end is a short rounded stub at the very base. With no background, kids can put all their focus on the banana. Bold outlines and large shapes make it a good match for preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or chunky markers. Bright yellow works for the banana itself, and a deeper yellow or light brown on the inside of the flaps gives a bit of contrast. Print this free page for a fruit theme, a healthy snack lesson, or a calm afternoon. This fits right in with our Fruit coloring pages — see also Candy and Girl Power.
