Three pieces of candy corn, one row, no fuss. Print the PDF and let the crayons do the rest.
Three candy corn pieces stand in a row across the middle of the page, each one drawn large enough to fill a small hand with color. The bands are wide and the outlines simple, with a rounded tip on top and a broad base below. That suits children from about four to eight who are still learning to stay near a line. Crayons cover the shapes quickly. Colored pencils let an older child shade one edge of each piece so it looks round.
A shape made for filling in
Look at the outline before you pick colors. Each piece has a wide base, a soft waist, and a blunt little point, so color has nowhere to get trapped. Narrow shapes frustrate small hands. This one does not. The three bands give a child three separate places to try three different yellows, and the empty paper on either side of the row leaves room for a paper bag or a few loose pieces. No faces are drawn, so a kid can add eyes on the top band or leave the candy plain.
