Color with Cocoa

Chocolate comes in many shades.  So why not color with cocoa?

Here's a chocolate palette with potential colors you can choose to use.

I think you'll find, since cocoa's always on my mind, that many of the coloring sheets are cacao centric. 

Ok, ok enough of my babbling...on to the reason for your visit!

Chocolate Chip Starfish

Hmmm, wonder how it got its name? Perhaps there's a little clue on this creature's back?

Found this great photo on Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks Steve Ryan for sharing it with the world.

This prickly denizen of the deep is yours to color and keep!

Cocoa Pod

Take a look at the insides of a cacao pod. This is a picture of a pod sliced in half vertically.

Those 5, sort of heart-shaped, things are the beans. They're covered
in a gummy, slimy, white pulp.

Look closely. You can see a little bit of brown bean peeking through the pulp.

Cocoa Tree with Pods

This is a water color from The Project Gutenburg eBook of The Food of the Gods by Brandon Head.

See how the cocoa pods are growing on the lichen covered trunk of the tree?   That's one of the weird things about the chocolate tree. 

Most trees grow their fruit on their branches.  This strange tree produces pods on both.

Aztec Sculpture

Found this picture of an Aztec sculpture on Wikimedia Commons.   

Poor guy seems to have misplaced his feet. But he still has a firm grip on that cacao pod!

You can see he has some red/orange around around his mouth and on his cap(?).  I wonder if he had any other colors on him?

Time has dulled him but not his message.

Chocolate Cupcake with White Frosting

A yummy little cupcake that I thought would make a tasty coloring page.

Halloween Coloring Pages

Here are a few Halloween coloring sheets that I drew for you.  Well, with lots of help from photoshop and paint.net, that is!

Jack-o-Lantern

That's my sweet cat posing with the pumpkin. I was barely able to snap this Halloween photo before his curiosity kicked in!

He says it's ok with him if you want to color him chocolate. Or his pumpkin partner, Jack The Lantern, who just happens to be full of chocolate, of course!

Thanksgiving Pictures

Hooray for Turkey Day!  The day it's ok to stuff yourself.  Friends, family, and a great meal.  Plenty to be thankful for. 

Hope this year has given you many reasons to give thanks.

I'm thankful for great visitors like you!  

And grateful for all the hardworking people who grow cocoa.  Without their labor we couldn't savor chocolate and its health benefits!

To them I dedicate my Cornucopia (Cocoacopia) and Turkey picture!
