Snack-time alert: a slice of watermelon has escaped! With its little arms, legs, and enormous smile, this one clearly has no intention of sitting quietly on a plate. Off it goes for a stroll, with its little black seeds neatly lined up across its belly and its thick green rind turned into a funny pair of shoes.

Behind this funny scene is one of the most refreshing fruits around. Watermelon is made up of more than 90% water, which explains why it's so enjoyable on a hot day. Its flesh is usually red or pink, although some varieties can be yellow or orange. And despite its sometimes impressive size, watermelon belongs to the same botanical family as melons, cucumbers, and zucchini.

To see this fruit in a much more realistic style, take a look at this whole watermelon with two juicy slices: you'll get a closer look at its striped rind, colorful flesh, and seeds. Our little adventurer can then rejoin the cheerful little fig, which also hides lots of tiny seeds inside.

For this coloring page, the classic trio works perfectly: red or pink for the flesh, light and dark green for the rind, then black or brown for the seeds. But nothing says our runaway watermelon can't be yellow, orange, or completely imaginary! With fruits this cheerful, our free Fruit and Vegetable Coloring Pages are starting to look less and less like an ordinary fruit bowl!
