Happy Apple Pal Next to a Sliced Apple
Coloring guide
This friendly fruit scene pairs a cheerful whole apple with a cut-open apple half. The smiling one has big shiny eyes, rosy cheek lines and a small curved smile, plus a short stem and a pointed leaf on top. A second leaf lies loose near the bottom right corner. The sliced apple in front shows a star-shaped core with five small seeds, which is a neat spot for kids to look closely. Thick, bold outlines and open shapes keep it easy for little hands, so it works for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Bright red looks good on the smiling apple, pale yellow on the flesh of the cut half, and fresh green on both leaves. Save it as a free PDF for classroom time or a rainy day.
