The Cherry Tree

Worksheet Description

In this coloring page, students will color a scene featuring a young boy (George Washington) in colonial attire, holding an axe next to an apple tree. The tree is laden with apples, some of which have fallen into a basket on the ground. The background includes a picket fence, rolling hills, clouds, and a bright sun, adding a serene and pastoral touch to the image. The overall scene evokes a sense of history and the simplicity of early American life.

I recommend students use a variety of colors to bring this historical and natural scene to life. The boy’s colonial outfit can be colored with shades of brown, beige, and navy blue, giving a realistic depiction of period clothing. The apple tree should have a trunk and branches in shades of brown, with green leaves and red apples to highlight the harvest theme. The basket can be a natural wood color, and the background elements like the picket fence can be white, the hills a light green, and the sky a bright blue with white clouds. The sun should be a warm yellow to create a cheerful and vibrant outdoor scene. These colors will enhance the historical and natural elements of the image, making it both educational and enjoyable to color.
