Pineapple Coloring Page for Kids Ages 2 to 5

To take the crown off a pineapple, one firm twist of the stiff, spiky leaves is enough, and it comes away whole with no cutting needed. Its skin is covered in small raised diamond shapes, each one holding what's left of a dried little flower in the middle, and that gets trimmed away before reaching the part you eat. Inside, the core is tougher and more fibrous than the rest, so many people set it aside when cutting the fruit into pieces. The sweet smell shows up as soon as the base gets sliced off, well before anyone tastes the flesh. For this coloring page you can paint each diamond on the skin a slightly different shade, use a bold green for the crown of leaves, and keep the flesh in soft yellows.
