What the Pictures Show

Here are the main kinds of apple coloring pages you will find. The collection starts with simple apples. Apple with a Leaf and Round Apple with Curly Stem show one apple, one stem and one leaf. These are a good first choice for toddlers because the lines are thick and the shapes are big.

Some pictures add a face or a costume. Cool Apple Wearing Sunglasses has a smile and a pair of shades. Smiling Apple Wearing a Crown adds a bow tie below the leaf. Chef Apple Holding a Whisk shows an apple in a chef's hat in the kitchen.

Older kids may enjoy the busier scenes. Apple Tree has fruit hanging from its branches, with grass and fluffy clouds in the sky. Apple House turns an apple into a small home with a chimney and round windows.

Whole Apples, Parts and Treats

  • Whole apples: Big Apple with Shiny Spot, Giant Apple and Two Apples
  • Apple parts: Apple Core, Sliced Apple and Apple Slice
  • Foods made with apples: Apple Pie, Caramel Apple and Apple Juice

Facts Children Can Learn from Apples

Apples grow on trees. The Apple Tree and Apple Falling from Tree Branch pictures show that. Ask your child where they have seen apples, such as a grocery store, a farm stand or a lunchbox.

Look inside the Sliced Apple and Apple Slice pictures. Each one shows seeds in the middle. Ask your child to count the seeds they can see.

Apples can be red, green or yellow. Ask your child which color they would pick for the Stack of Three Apples, then talk about why.

Fun Ways to Use These Pictures

  1. Pick two pictures, such as Apple Core and Apple Slice. Ask your child which one shows more of the apple.
  2. Count the four slices on the Apple Sliced on Cutting Board page. Then count the seeds together.
  3. Color the Stack of Three Apples with a different color for each apple.
  4. Sort the pictures into two piles: whole apples and apple parts.

Teachers can use the sorting game as a short warm-up before snack time. If your child likes sweet treats, try the Birthday Cake coloring pages or the Ice Cream coloring pages.

Tips for Coloring Apples

Apples do not have to be red. Let your child try green or yellow on the Plain Apple with Big Leaf picture.

Color the leaves a different green from the apple. The stem and leaf will stand out more.

For the Caramel Apple, let your child use gold or orange for the sticky coating. Leave the stick brown.

The Apple with Teardrop Spots page is a good place to practice small dots with the tip of a crayon. Crayons work well on the big apples, while markers give bright color to the smaller details.

Questions Parents and Teachers Ask

Can I print these apple coloring pages at home?

Yes. Each picture prints on US Letter paper and has its own PDF. This page also has a Download all as one PDF button, so you can get the whole set in one step.

Which apple pictures work best for a two-year-old?

Start with the Easy pictures, such as Apple with a Leaf or Plump Apple with Tall Stem. They have thick lines and one simple shape. Easy pictures are labeled for ages 2 to 4, so you can match the level to your child.

Are the Medium pictures too hard for kindergarten?

Medium pictures are labeled for ages 5 to 7, which fits many kindergarten kids. Apple Basket and Apple Floating into Space have more details to fill in. If your child gets tired, switch to an Easy picture.

Can my child color on a tablet or computer?

Yes. Each picture can be colored online with a tap-to-fill tool. Your child taps an open area and it fills with the color they choose. Younger children may want a grown-up nearby to help pick colors.
