Autumn Harvest Pumpkins

Three plump pumpkins of different sizes cluster together on this page, their stems curling at the top while a scatter of autumn leaves and acorns settles around their base. The shapes are big and rounded, which makes this a relaxed page for younger children to fill, yet the leaf veins and acorn caps give older colorers small details to fuss over. Pumpkins are technically a fruit, not a vegetable, and the orange field varieties we know best are members of the squash family that ripen right around harvest time. You do not have to keep them orange, though — white, green, and even striped pumpkins are all real, so the picture invites experimenting. Use warm reds and yellows on the leaves to capture the feeling of fall. Print it on US Letter or A4 paper and it makes a friendly seasonal decoration for a window or fridge.
