Minions Banana Split Fun Coloring Page

The Minions and their obsession with bananas is one of the most endearing parts of these lovable yellow characters, so combining them with a banana split dessert creates a naturally fun coloring scene. This page typically features one or more Minions interacting with an oversized ice cream sundae, complete with banana slices, whipped cream, cherries, and all the toppings you’d expect from this classic treat.

What colors work best?

Start with the obvious Minion yellow and blue for the overalls, then move into the dessert itself. Traditional banana split colors include vanilla white, chocolate brown, and strawberry pink for the ice cream scoops. The banana can be a warm yellow-orange that’s slightly different from the Minion’s skin tone. For the toppings, try bright red for cherries and maraschino syrup, golden caramel, deep chocolate for fudge, and creamy white for whipped cream. Adding rainbow sprinkles gives you a chance to use every color in your collection.

Did you know?

The banana split was invented in 1904 by a 23-year-old pharmacy apprentice named David Strickler in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He made it in a drugstore soda fountain and originally charged just 10 cents for the enormous dessert. Bananas were actually quite exotic and expensive in the early 1900s, which made the banana split feel like a luxurious treat. The Minions’ banana obsession in the movies is so strong that the filmmakers included over 60 different types of bananas in their background research.

How to color this one

Use colored pencils for the ice cream to create smooth, creamy textures by blending in gentle circular motions. Layer lighter colors first, then add shadows with slightly darker tones along the edges. Markers work well for the Minions themselves since their color is pretty uniform. For toppings like chocolate sauce or caramel, leave thin white gaps to suggest shine and make them look wet and glossy. The background can stay simple with light colors so your banana split stays the star.

Who’ll love this?

Younger kids who already love the Minions movies will connect with this one immediately, especially the 5-8 age range. It also works well as a summertime activity when ice cream is on everyone’s mind, or as a rainy day distraction when you can’t actually go out for dessert.
