Basket of Fall Apples

Brimming with round, ripe apples, this woven wicker basket sits on a grassy patch with a couple of extra apples resting on the ground in front. Each apple wears a small stem and leaf, and the basket's crisscross weave gives steady hands a fun pattern to fill in. There is enough repetition here to keep colorers busy without anything being fussy, so it suits both kids who want to color every apple a different shade and grown-ups who find rows of fruit soothing. Apples ripen in late summer and fall, which is why orchards and apple-picking trips are such a classic autumn outing. Color the apples red, green, golden yellow, or a whole rainbow basket — real apples come in all of those colors. Print it on US Letter or A4 for a bright harvest-season activity or a kitchen-themed coloring afternoon.
