About this coloring page
The duck paints. On the canvas a bowl of apples and pears appears, and the same fruit sits in a bowl on the stool nearby. Kids color both the real fruit and the painted version, so they can try two different color choices.
Printing and coloring tips
Print at 100% on Letter or A4. Plain 80–100 gsm copy paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; for markers, use thicker paper or put a scrap sheet underneath so the ink doesn't bleed through. Detailed scenes like this one are easier with fine-tip markers or sharpened pencils.
Ideas for this page
- Color the real fruit and the painting in different colors.
- Make one apple green and one red.
Questions
Why is the fruit on the page twice?
Once on the stool and once in the duck's painting — kids can color them alike or differently.
