Fall Pumpkin Basket Coloring Page

About this page

A round harvest basket holds a single pumpkin that peeks over the rim. The pumpkin has a thick curved stem and a few rounded ribs, and its sides are partly hidden behind the basket's front. A tall arched handle rises over it, drawn as a double line. The basket itself is a bowl shape wrapped with wide horizontal bands, and a few short vertical slats show between them. Everything is drawn in simple, thick lines, with no faces or other objects on the page. The pumpkin ribs and basket bands provide large, easy areas, so the picture is quick to finish. This easy page is a calm fit for kids who like fall harvest scenes and prefer clean shapes over crowded detail, and it leaves a lot of white space around it.
