Palm Tree Leaves Coloring Pages

Palm tree leaves are a very important part of trees that come from warm places like the tropics, which are lands near the equator.

The very first palm trees grew many, many years ago, way back in a time called the Cretaceous period, which was about 80 million years ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth!

A surprising fact is that palm tree leaves are actually huge!

Some of them can grow up to 10 feet long, about the length of a small car.

These leaves, also known as fronds, can be either feathery, like a bird’s feathers, or fan-shaped, like a folding fan your grandma might use.

Palm tree leaves aren’t just there to look pretty, they have lots of uses.

In some countries, people use the leaves to build roofs for their homes and they are used to make baskets and mats, too.

Also, in special occasions such as Palm Sunday, Christians use them for their religious ceremonies.

Palm tree leaves are very strong and flexible.
