Minions Banana Picnic Coloring Page

The Minions and their obsession with bananas create one of the most entertaining combinations in animated movies. This coloring page captures those lovable yellow characters enjoying their favorite fruit in a cheerful outdoor setting, complete with picnic blankets, banana bunches, and all the silly chaos that follows them everywhere.

What colors work best?

Start with the obvious bright yellow for the Minions themselves, but consider adding subtle shading with golden yellow or even a touch of orange in the shadows. Their denim overalls look great in classic blue, though mixing in some lighter blue highlights makes them pop. For the bananas, layer different yellows and add those characteristic brown spots. The picnic blanket gives you freedom to experiment with red and white checks, or try an unexpected combo like turquoise and coral. Green grass provides nice contrast, and you might add wildflowers in purples and pinks to make the scene more vibrant.

Did you know?

Minions actually speak a real constructed language called Minionese, which blends words from English, Spanish, French, and even Korean. The creators chose bananas as their favorite food partly because the curved shape echoes the Minions’ own pill-like body design. In the movies, an average Minion is only about 3.5 feet tall, which would make a regular banana almost the size of their arm.

How to color this one

Colored pencils work wonderfully here since you can build up layers on the Minions’ bodies to create that smooth, rounded look. Start light and add darker yellows in the curved areas. For the goggles, leave white highlights to make them look shiny and metallic. Markers are great for the picnic blanket pattern if you want bold, even colors. The banana peels benefit from directional strokes that follow their curves, and don’t forget to add those green stems at the top.

Who’ll love this?

Young kids who love the Minions movies will jump at this one, especially the 4-8 age range. It’s also a fun group activity for playdates since multiple children can color their own Minion characters differently. The banana theme makes it surprisingly popular around snack time or lunch breaks at home.
