Fun facts to share while coloring
Strawberries are members of the rose family, which is why their plants make pretty five-petaled flowers before the fruit forms. A strawberry is not a botanical berry; the tiny “seeds” on the outside are actually little fruits called achenes, and each one holds a seed. A medium strawberry can have about 200 achenes on its surface. The garden strawberries we eat today came from a hybrid made in France in the 1700s, using a North American species and a Chilean species. As strawberries ripen, they change from green to white to bright red, and their sweet smell helps signal that the fruit is ready.
Coloring tips
Start with the classic strawberry palette: bright red for the berry, deeper crimson or burgundy near the dimples, golden yellow for the seed-like achenes, fresh green for the leafy calyx and stems, white or pale pink petals, yellow flower centers, and tan or brown baskets. Because strawberries have rounded heart shapes, color in curved strokes from the shoulder toward the pointed tip, leaving a small white shine on one side. Add the achenes last with a sharp pencil or marker so they sit neatly over the red. For a playful twist, make a few berries chocolate-dipped with a dark brown lower half and tiny white drizzle lines, or design a jam-jar label with your own farm name.
