(also known as the Legend of the Pineapple)
The Filipino folktale of Pina brings to life a rich tapestry of moral lessons, woven into the vibrant culture and traditions of the Philippines. Our Pina coloring pages offer a creative journey through this enchanting story, inviting children and adults alike to explore themes of diligence, obedience, and the consequences of neglect through art. As you color in the scenes depicting Pina's life, her transformation, and the magical emergence of the pineapple, you're not just filling in a picture; you're connecting with a piece of Filipino heritage.
Sometimes Pina didn't mind cleaning as her mother asked her to, but often she was tired and lazy and ignored her mom's requests.
Pina enjoyed helping her mom in the garden more than she liked cleaning the house, but still there were days when the sun shone brightly and Pina snuck off to nap in the shade.
Pina's mom loved her dearly and would gently wake her lazy daughter and ask her to please get back to work with her chores. Her mother constantly reminds her to be more helpful and diligent, but still Pina often ignores her requests.
One day, when her mother falls ill and needs Pina's help more than ever, Pina fails to assist, pretending not to hear her mother's calls. In a moment of frustration and desperation, her mother wishes that Pina would have a thousand eyes to help her find things more easily.
Soon after, Pina mysteriously disappears, and in her place, a strange new fruit grows, which has numerous eyes on its surface. This fruit turns out to be the first pineapple. The story serves as a moral lesson on the importance of obedience, helpfulness, and the consequences of laziness.
