Oranges are sweet fruits that we love to eat. They are part of something much bigger: the life that is born, grows, and transforms in the trees. They are surrounded by leaves that protect them, flowers that announce their arrival, and branches that hold them as they slowly ripen.

In this drawing, there are two very friendly oranges. They are smiling, as if they are happy to be looked at closely. Take a good look: Have you counted how many leaves there are? Did you find where the flowers are? What do their cheerful faces say to you with those happy looks?

You can also practice how to write the word “orange.” It’s right below, with dotted lines for you to trace with your pencil. Take your time, no rush.

Now it’s your turn. Choose the colors you like best. You can use classic orange, of course, but you can also invent new ones. Can you imagine an orange with blue polka dots? Or a leaf that changes color like a rainbow? What matters is that what you color says something about you.

Ideas and Tips for Coloring the Oranges

Although the drawing may seem simple, it has interesting challenges for those who color it. The leaves are repeated and have inner veins. Coloring without going outside the lines and using different shades of green for each leaf helps develop precision and a sense of contrast.

The flowers, small and delicate, can stand out if you use soft colors and highlight the center with a more intense color. It’s also important not to color the whole picture with just one shade. You can use darker oranges for the shadows of the fruit and lighter tones in the center to suggest light.

The expression of the fruits is key: a smile, round eyes, subtle details on the cheeks. Here you can explore how color enhances emotion. A child might choose warm tones for the cheeks to make the oranges look happier or even add creative details like glasses, eyebrows, or backgrounds with sky and grass.

Symbolic Play

Invite children to imagine a story: What are those oranges saying? What kind of day have they had? How do they feel about hanging from a tree? These kinds of questions activate philosophical thinking in children and encourage them to go beyond drawing as just a pastime. The image becomes a narrative and reflective stage.

The Power of Color

Color can make this drawing powerful. A blue or orange background can change the mood of the picture. The choice of colors doesn’t have to be just realistic. If a child decides the oranges will be purple or blue, that artistic decision is valid if it has a purpose. What matters is that there is reflection. Ask them: “Why did you choose that color?” “What do you want someone to feel when they see your drawing?”

Educational and Linguistic Perspective

The dotted outline of the word “orange” invites the practice of fine motor skills, essential for writing. It also promotes phonological awareness by distinguishing the sounds of each letter. Including the possibility of learning the Spanish version (“narnaja”) broadens the context and allows vocabulary to expand, linking art with language.

This exercise allows you to connect drawing with multiple subjects: natural sciences (plant growth), language (spelling and vocabulary), ethics (values of respect and gratitude), and even art education (color and expression).
