Cornucopia Overflowing With Autumn Harvest Fruits Coloring Page

The horn lies on its side with fruit and vegetables spilling from the mouth and across the surface in front of it, apples, pears, grapes, corn, a squash and a couple of small pumpkins. In the simple style each item is a clean separate outline, nothing overlaps confusingly, and the woven texture of the horn is suggested with a few diagonal lines rather than drawn in full.

This page teaches sorting, which suits a young child. Ask them to do all the round fruits first, then all the long ones, then the horn. It turns one big sheet into three small jobs. Real harvest colors, reds, purples, deep yellows and greens, will look better here than pastels, and a plain straw brown on the horn lets everything spilling out of it stay bright.

The cornucopia comes from a Greek story about the infant Zeus, who was nursed by a goat and accidentally snapped off one of her horns. In return he made it fill endlessly with whatever food was wished for.
