Farm Pickup Truck Coloring Page

An old-style pickup truck drives past with its bed loaded. Two hay bales sit at the front and three large pumpkins with deep ribs sit behind them. The truck has a square grille, round headlamps and chunky tyres.

Ideas for coloring

• Colour the pumpkins in orange, with a few in pale yellow or green.
• Use gold and straw tones for the bales and draw lines of straw.
• Colour the truck a faded red, blue or green.
• Add a field or a barn in the background.

Why pumpkins ride in a pickup

Pumpkins are heavy and awkward to carry, so farmers load them straight into the bed. They ripen on the vine during summer and are harvested in autumn. The ribs on the skin are the lines where the pumpkin grew into segments. If you like, add a scarecrow or a fence on the road edge to finish the autumn scene, and pick warm colours for the ground.
