What's In This Picture

As you look at this page, you will see four distinct popsicle characters standing side-by-side. On one side, there is a tall rocket popsicle with its classic pointed top and segmented sections. Next to it stands a classic round popsicle with a big, friendly smile. In the middle of the group is a wide double popsicle, which looks like two treats joined together on two separate sticks. Finally, at the end of the line is the smallest member of the group, a cute baby popsicle that is even wearing a tiny pacifier.

Every character has a simple, expressive face with large eyes and a happy mouth. They are all holding hands, creating a sense of unity and fun across the page. The lines are clear and bold, making it easy to see where one character ends and the next begins. The wooden sticks at the bottom of each treat are also visible, completing the look of these classic frozen desserts.

Coloring Tips

For the rocket popsicle, you might want to use three different colors to mimic the traditional red, white, and blue layers, or perhaps try a tropical theme with orange, yellow, and bright green. The double popsicle is a great opportunity to use two shades of the same color, like a light purple and a dark purple, to show the two halves joined together. Since the baby popsicle is so small and sweet, using soft pastel colors like mint green or pale pink can help it stand out as the youngest member of the group.

Don't forget to color the sticks with a light tan or woody brown to make them look realistic. You can use markers for a bold, vibrant look that makes the popsicles look like they are bursting with fruit flavor, or use colored pencils to create soft gradients and highlights. If you want to make them look extra cold, you could even add some light blue shading around the edges to represent a frosty chill.

Did You Know?

Did you know that the popsicle was actually invented by an 11-year-old boy? In 1905, Frank Epperson accidentally left a cup of soda powder and water with a stirring stick outside on a very cold night. The next morning, he found his drink frozen solid around the stick! He originally called his invention the Epsicle, but later changed the name to popsicle because his children always asked for Pop's 'sicle.

Try This!

After you finish coloring these frozen friends, you could try drawing a bright yellow sun or some fluffy white clouds in the background to create a complete summer day. You might also enjoy giving each of the popsicle characters a name based on their flavor. To bring the fun into the kitchen, you and a grown-up could even try making your own real fruit popsicles using juice and a freezer mold.
