Smiling Pumpkin Coloring Page

Coloring a smiling pumpkin can turn an ordinary afternoon into a tiny fall adventure. Imagine the pumpkin sitting on a crisp pile of leaves, its big friendly grin welcoming a parade of colors. The curved lines on the pumpkin are a great chance to practice shading, so kids can press softer near the edges and a bit harder where the grooves meet. In class, you can create a pumpkin color station with crayons, markers, and oil pastels, then display the finished pages on a bulletin board titled Autumn Smiles. At home, this printable is perfect for a rainy day activity, quiet table work, or a quick craft with stickers and glitter added for extra sparkle. For a creative extension, pair the coloring page with a short story prompt about the pumpkin and encourage children to write one or two sentences about where the pumpkin lives. Group projects can include cutting out colored pumpkins to make a seasonal banner or turning them into greeting cards for family and friends. This simple page sparks imagination and makes learning festive and fun.
