Uppercase A, lowercase a, and a shiny apple with leaf and sparkles coloring page

A Is for Apple With Sparkles

A tall uppercase A and chunky lowercase a frame a plump apple with a curved stem, striped leaf, and little sparkles.

🎨 How to color it

Color the apple bright ruby red, the uppercase A sunny yellow, the lowercase a sky blue, and the leaf fresh green. The apple has big smooth spaces, so use chunky crayons or broad marker strokes inside the thick outlines. Add a tiny golden glow around the star sparkles to make the apple look freshly polished.

The story behind this coloring page

Arlo’s Secret Apple Shine — Under the moonlit trees, Arlo carried glue, paper, and one big cardboard A. Read the full story →

Under the moonlit trees, Arlo carried glue, paper, and one big cardboard A. He wanted his alphabet orchard sign finished before sunrise, but the first apple on the first branch stayed dull and plain. Snip, tap, brush—his hands smelled like paste and apple peel.

Then the apple whispered, “Make me a little a, too.” Arlo blinked. He cut a round lowercase a, pressed it beside the fruit, and rubbed the apple with his sleeve until sparks winked like tiny stars. From that night on, every alphabet orchard began with a big A, a little a, and one proud apple shine. Can you spot the secret sparkles Arlo made by hand?
