Apple and Hand Bell with Stars for Back to School
Coloring guide
A happy apple with big shiny eyes and a smile leans against a tall hand bell. The apple has a short stem, one veined leaf and a glossy highlight on its side. The bell has a long handle with ridged lines, a wide rim with a band around it and a round clapper hanging inside. Six small stars in different sizes are scattered across the background. Bold, clean outlines and roomy shapes help younger kids stay inside the lines. The apple can be red or green, the leaf bright green, and the bell and stars golden yellow. Print or download it free for a screen-free activity at home. Looking for more? Our New Year and Teacher Appreciation Day coloring pages pair nicely with this Back to School page.
