Smiling Candy Corn Coloring Page

This coloring page shows three tall pieces of candy corn with happy faces standing side by side, wrapped together by a ribbon with a big bow on the middle one. Each piece is split into wide stripes from its pointed tip to its round base, and your child colors every stripe a different color. Two leaves drift down in the top and bottom corners, and a question under the picture asks whether they can give all three candy corns the same three colors.

Filling a wide band from edge to edge asks a child to slow the crayon down and steer it along a line, which is how hand and finger control grow between two and five. Coloring the three pieces the same way is also an early pattern task: the child has to remember an order of colors and repeat it, a skill early math later builds on.

Set out just three or four crayons before your child starts. A small choice is easier to keep in mind, and it makes repeating the same color order across all three candy corns much more manageable for a younger child.
