About this coloring page
A curved, cone-shaped basket woven from crisscrossing strips lies on its side with its wide mouth open. Out of it spills a harvest of food: a ribbed pumpkin, a bunch of round grapes, a shiny apple, a pear and an ear of corn with its husk peeled back, all framed by large autumn leaves.
Coloring ideas
Color the woven basket in tans and browns, using a darker shade where the strips cross. Each food can be its natural color: purple grapes, a red apple, a green or yellow pear, golden corn and an orange pumpkin. Leaves look great in red, gold and rust. Older kids can add a soft shadow under the fruit so it looks round.
Skills practiced
The cornucopia, or horn of plenty, is a symbol of a good harvest. Children can name every food in the basket, sort them into fruits and vegetables, and talk about which ones grow on trees, vines or stalks.
Printing tips
The weave pattern has many small sections, so a sharpened colored pencil gives the neatest lines. Print several for a Thanksgiving table centerpiece display.
