Fall Apple Basket Coloring Page

About this page

A round basket with a tall arched handle holds a trio of apples, each with a smiling face. The apples sit in a small pile, one on top in the middle and two at the sides, and each has a short stem with a leaf. The handle is wrapped in a twisted rope pattern, and a thick rim circles the middle of the basket. Below it, the woven sides are drawn as wide interlocking rectangles, so the pattern is bold and large. All the faces are drawn with simple dots and curves. The basket sits alone with no ground line. With only a few shapes and a clear weave, this easy page makes a good orchard-themed activity for kids who like fruit and baskets.
