Pumpkins In A Pumpkin Patch Coloring Page

A patch means variety, and that is what this sheet delivers. Pumpkins of several sizes crowd together across the middle of the page, some tall and some squat, each drawn complete with a stem curling off the top and its own set of rib lines. A few thin tendrils spring up between them, and small tufts of grass sit at either side of the ground. Nothing is filled in, so every one of them is still waiting on a decision. The obvious approach is to make them all orange, and the more interesting approach is not to. Real patches hold white ones, pale green ones, deep reddish brown ones and squat striped varieties, so a row of different colors is closer to the truth than a row of identical ones. Point that out and a child gets permission to use the whole box. There is open paper above the cluster for anyone who wants to add a barn, a fence or a sky. For a group working side by side, the size differences make it easy to claim a pumpkin each.
