What's In This Picture

As you look across the page, you will see a repeating pattern of happy watermelon slices. Each slice features a pair of large, expressive eyes and a cheerful mouth that gives the fruit a friendly character. Small, rounded arms extend from the sides of the slices, adding to the playful movement of the design.

Scattered across the center of each slice are several teardrop-shaped seeds that create a nice texture for you to color. The background is simple, keeping the focus entirely on these charming fruit characters as they march across the paper in organized rows. Every character is identical in shape but waiting for your unique touch to give them life.

Coloring Tips

While a classic red or pink center with a green rind is always a great choice, you can try different shades to make each watermelon slice stand out. Using a lighter pink for the area near the rind and a deeper crimson toward the top adds a realistic depth to the fruit. For the seeds, a dark brown or deep purple works perfectly if you want to avoid using black.

You might even want to give each slice a different colored background or use markers to make the eyes and mouths pop with vibrant expressions. If you want a sparkling effect, adding a bit of glitter glue to the seeds can make the pattern look extra special and unique.

Did You Know?

Did you know that watermelons are actually both a fruit and a vegetable? They are related to cucumbers, pumpkins, and squash. Because they are about 92 percent water, they are one of the most hydrating snacks you can eat during a hot summer day. They have been grown for thousands of years, starting in Africa.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try counting how many seeds are on the entire page or give each watermelon a funny name. You could also cut out your favorite slices to make custom stickers or a festive summer banner for your room by stringing them together with some yarn.
