Apple Half
Apple half in cross-section with seed chamber, two seeds, and a separate leaf below.
An apple half shown in cross-section. The upper half of the apple is visible with a short stem at the top. Inside, the core is clearly shown: an elongated oval chamber containing two black oval seeds. The flesh fills the space between the core and the skin. Below the apple sits a separate oval leaf with a visible vein network.
What's in the image?
The image shows the apple cut open to reveal its interior: the characteristic apple shape, the short stem, and the oval seed chamber with two seeds. The separate leaf below is decorative and shows the fine detail of a leaf vein pattern. Together, the two elements make an interesting and informative motif.
Color ideas
- Red or light red for the outer skin of the apple
- Pale yellow or white for the flesh
- Dark brown for the core chamber
- Black for the seeds
- Rich green for the leaf
This page suits children from about age 5. The core chamber with its seeds requires a bit more precision. The vein pattern on the leaf is also a nice detail to color in. The image shows what is usually hidden — the inner structure of an apple — and can be a good starting point for conversations about plants and fruits.
