Grid Drawing: Pumpkin Patch Pixel Art

About this worksheet

A 10 by 9 pixel pumpkin with ribs, a curly stem and a leaf. With more squares per row, kids count carefully and compare row by row: a calm fall activity for second grade. The answer key is on page 2. It fits second grade, around ages 7 to 8. Give each pumpkin a slightly different shade of orange.

Tips for using it

• Try classic orange pumpkins with green stems, or make one purple just for fun.
• Copy one square at a time and check where each line enters and leaves the square before you draw.
• Draw lightly in pencil first; when the whole picture is in place, trace over it and color it.
• Turn the example picture upside down for a challenge: it stops your brain from guessing and makes you copy what you really see.
