Two Cherries Resting on a Fluffy Frosted Cupcake

A big cupcake sits in the middle of the page with a swirly, cloud-like mound of frosting that has several rounded bumps along the sides. Two round cherries rest on the upper right of the frosting, joined by thin stems that curl up to a single leaf at the top. The paper wrapper below has a flared shape with six tall, solid black stripes, which leaves the white spaces between them open for color. Outlines are thick and bold, so the page works well for younger kids using chunky crayons. Try picking two different colors for the cherries, then use a pattern on the wrapper by alternating shades between the white gaps. You could also ask children to count the stripes and the frosting bumps. This free printable is a nice quiet activity for a birthday party table or a baking unit.
