Colouring

How to colour?
Look at the fruit basket below closely; observe the colours used.

Now, colour the picture. You may need to apply multiple colours and
repeat to produce the actual shades and colours.

Note to the teacher
Teachers may supply outline drawing on sketches to let students practise
colouring. Or, have students sketch line drawing first and then colour the
drawings.
