About this coloring page
Pumpkins, gourds and squash of every shape fill the page. There are round ribbed pumpkins, bumpy warty gourds, tall gourds with long necks, ridged acorn squash and smooth pear-shaped squash, all piled together and overlapping. Some of the gourds are covered in round bumps, and others have long ridges running from stem to bottom.
Coloring ideas
Mix oranges, yellows, greens, creams and tans, and try stripes or speckles on some gourds. Using a different color for each piece makes the pile look like a real farm stand display. Stems can be green, tan or brown, and a little white on the bumps makes them look shiny.
Skills practiced
Sorting the shapes by size, bumpiness or stripes is a fun classification activity. Children can count the pumpkins and compare them with the gourds.
Printing tips
With many overlapping shapes, this page is a good challenge for older kids. Print it for a fall art lesson on still-life drawing. Set out a few real gourds on the table so children can look at them while they color.
