Banana Leaf Feast Coloring Page

About this coloring page

Lunch is served on a wide banana leaf: a smiling mound of rice, a round sweet, a small bowl and a whole banana. The foods are large and well spaced, so the page stays fairly easy.

Here is a plate that grows on a tree. Ask your child what else could serve as a plate in a pinch, perhaps a big shell or a flat stone. Name the four foods on the leaf and decide what might be in the bowl. Coloring the leaf last, working around the food, is good practice for staying inside lines.

Fun fact

In South India, festival meals are often served on a fresh banana leaf in place of a plate.
