Common questions about this coloring page
For a classic garden pumpkin, bright orange or yellow are ideal. The stem can be brown or green. Encourage your child to experiment with different shades of orange to add subtle shading and depth.
Point out the stem at the top and the round 'ribs' or grooves that go around the pumpkin. Explain that the stem is like a small tree trunk connecting the pumpkin to its plant. The grooves give the pumpkin its rounded but ribbed shape.
Since the coloring page has simple large areas, children can easily apply the base color. Suggest coloring a little darker along the edges of the grooves or using a second, slightly different color to hint at a gentle 3D effect.
Talk about where pumpkins grow (in gardens, fields) and what they can be used for (soup, carving for Halloween). Perhaps you have a real pumpkin to compare with the coloring page and identify the colors and shapes.
