16 Cherry Coloring Pages
Cherries grow on trees that bloom with white or pink flowers in spring, and the fruit ripens in early summer. Sweet cherries are eaten fresh, while tart cherries are often baked into pies. In Japan, cherry blossom season, called sakura, is celebrated with picnics under the flowering trees. This set is full of cherries. A pair of cherries on a long stem, a bowl of cherries and a giant cherry on a tall stem keep things simple. Treat pages include a cherry cake tower, a cupcake tower, an ice cream sundae, a smoothie glass and a jar of cherries, and baskets and bowls overflow with fruit. A cherry plant in a pot shows where they come from. Deep red is classic, but dark cherries can be almost purple-black, and Rainier cherries are yellow with a red blush. A small white highlight makes each cherry look shiny and round, and the stems and leaves can be green and brown.
Single cherries, a pair and a full bowl
Cute Cherry, Cute Cherry Character and Cherry Pair each have only a few large shapes, a fruit, a stem and a leaf or two, which makes them ideal first pages for ages 3 to 5. Bowl of Cherries is the busiest sheet, with about ten overlapping cherries and a decorated bowl, still easy but better for kids around 4 to 7 who can color around edges.
Count, sort and taste cherries
Use Bowl of Cherries for a counting game, having kids number each cherry as they color it. Serve a few real cherries, sweet red and golden if you can find them, and let children compare the colors with their pages. Cherry Pair is a nice way to talk about pairs and doubles, and kids can draw more joined pairs around it.
