A coconut is a tropical fruit that grows on the coconut palm tree.

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

The name of the fruit comes from a Portuguese word meaning "head" or "skull."

If you recall Zazu's song from The Lion King, you know that coconuts can grow as large as your head!

Did you know? Coconuts take a year to ripen! Each palm tree can produce up to 100 coconuts each year.

Though they originated in the islands between Asia and Australia, coconuts can be found in tropical regions all over the world.

They can float on the waves for many months in search of a new home.

In another pop culture reference from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, two knights argue over how many small birds it would take to carry a two-pound coconut from the tropics to chilly Europe.
