Cornucopia Coloring Page

A horn full of autumn
A cornucopia, or horn of plenty, is a woven horn overflowing with food — the oldest symbol of a good harvest, and the centrepiece on a lot of Thanksgiving tables. This one spills an apple, a pear, a bunch of grapes and a little pumpkin out of its open end.
It has more parts than the turkey or the pie, which makes it a better fit for three- to eight-year-olds. Ask your child to name each fruit before coloring it, and to pick a different color for each one; the five grapes are good counting practice on their own.
