Fruit Coloring Pages

Fruit coloring pages are a good first set for small hands: the shapes are round, the outlines are clear and everyone knows what color a banana is. Here you can print single fruits such as an apple, a strawberry or a pineapple, sliced fruit that shows the seeds, cute fruit with faces and big baskets that mix fruits and vegetables together.

Fruit coloring pages to print

  • Everyday fruit: apples, bananas, oranges, pears and grapes.

Real fruit colors, and a few facts to go with them

Most fruit changes color as it ripens, so more than one answer is right.

  • Apples: red, green or yellow, often streaked with two of them. The flesh inside is cream, not pure white.
  • Bananas: green when unripe, yellow when ready and speckled brown when very sweet.
  • Strawberries: bright red with a green cap. The yellow dots on the outside are the seeds, about 200 on each berry.
  • Watermelon: dark and light green stripes outside, a thin white rind, then pink-red flesh with black seeds. It's about 92 percent water.
  • Oranges and lemons: the dimpled peel shows best with tiny dots of a darker shade.
  • Grapes: purple, red or green, with a pale highlight on each one.
  • Pineapple: golden yellow diamonds with brown edges and a gray-green crown.
  • Blueberries: more purple-blue than blue, with a dusty pale coating.

A tip for any round fruit: pick where the light is coming from, leave a small white spot there and darken the opposite side.

Frequently asked questions

Are these fruit coloring pages free?

Yes. All fruit coloring pages are free to download and print for personal and classroom use.

Do you have cute fruit coloring pages?

Yes. Pages marked Easy include a smiling strawberry, a pear with rosy cheeks and a slice of watermelon with seeds. They're drawn with round shapes and thick lines.

Are there fruits and vegetables coloring pages together?

Yes. The fruit basket, the market stall and the sorting sheet mix both. On the sorting sheet, kids color the fruits in one color family and the vegetables in another, or circle the ones they've tried. For vegetables alone, see the vegetable coloring pages.

How can I use fruit pages to teach colors?

Print one fruit for each color: a red apple, an orange, a yellow banana, a green pear, blueberries and purple grapes. Color them in rainbow order and tape them in a row. Younger children can match each page to a real piece of fruit.
