“One day I found two pumpkin seeds.
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
It sprouted roots and a big, long vine.
A pumpkin grew; I called it mine.
The pumpkin was quite round and fat.
(I really am quite proud of that.)
But there is something I'll admit
That has me worried just a bit.
I ate the other seed, you see.
Now will it grow inside of me?

(I'm so relieved since I have found
That pumpkins only grow in the ground!)”

The pumpkin has been a fruit/vegetable (fruit – since it has seeds, and vegetable since it is being called so nowadays) of great interest to everyone – artists, poets and obviously, kids. The ripe yellow and red skin, covering a treasure of gold and sometimes copper to accompany it, with a fortune of gems – flat little moonstones and emeralds – hidden inside it, is something that nobody can resist. The soft, succulent flesh of the pumpkin is full of sweet, nectarous juice, which instills in any sane human being an insane craving to sink their teeth into it and fill their mouth with its smooth, luscious taste. It feels like being granted a boon of eternal luxury, when you bite into it and feel the tender pulp melt steadily in your mouth.

Apart from the temporary Paradise it transports you to; the pumpkin has provided kids with times full of fun and enjoyment, especially during Halloween. As the chief fruit of the Autumn season, it is given the respect due to it when it is placed, not only on the canvas of an artist, who is trying to imitate Nature’s exemplary work of art, but also in your plates, and obviously, as the most important bit of decoration for a Halloween dinner.

This is the part I was talking about earlier on. Children love carving these huge fruits and giving them the appearance of a toothless, yet smiling, face. For those children who are still too young to handle knives, though, there is little that they can do as their contribution to the Halloween celebration. This creates a problem for them as well as their parents, for they are quite keen to help, and the parents do not wish to mar their eagerness.


This is where you get the solution – they may not be old enough to handle knives, but they definitely are so when it comes to handling colors. Hence, you give them a set of paints or crayons, and have them color a number of Pumpkin coloring pages. These printable Pumpkin coloring pages are available on the internet, free of charge.

These Pumpkin coloring pages will not only give them a sense of satisfaction, but will also be an initial stepping stone for them to learn more about the expansive world of edible material. Pumpkin coloring pages can be used as decorations for your Halloween celebration dinner, and they will add all the more happiness and joy to the occasion, for they would be your kid’s own creations, and your putting them up will definitely make them squeal with joy and feel (quite justifiably) proud of themselves.

Hence, in order to make your child learn more and enjoy Halloween to the fullest, get them a set of Pumpkin coloring pages, and watch as they add loads and loads of color to the festivities!
