Pumpkin With A Curling Vine Coloring Page

This pumpkin has no face. That matters, because a carved jack o lantern belongs to one night in October while a plain pumpkin suits the whole season. Five curved ribs divide the body into broad panels, and each panel sits open and ready. A short stout stem tops the pumpkin, and a vine curls away from its base and ends in a tidy spiral. Two broad leaves ride along that vine. The spiral is a small gift for anyone who likes following a line with a pencil tip. The panels make this page flexible. Fill them all in orange for the obvious look, or alternate two tones so the pumpkin gains a rounded, lit quality. Some children color each panel a different shade entirely and end up with something closer to a beach ball, which is fine. The shapes are big and the lines are thick, so there is no penalty for going fast. Hang the finished page on the fridge in September and it still looks right in November. Print several and line them up along a windowsill.
