Preschool Garden Vegetable Printables

Today, I’m sharing parenting tips on preschool garden vegetable printables for kids.  I found these kids coloring pages at  www.vegetable-gardening-online.com.  So, I thought I would share them with my readers. These vegetable coloring pages are a fun way to expose children to gardening.  Furthermore, you can discuss the importance of vegetables in our diet.

 

It’s also a great way to start a conversation about backyard vegetable gardening  with your children too.  They can become familiar with growing their own food.  Getting children involved in gardening teaches them to nurture and to become self-sufficient. Furthermore, children should learn to be responsible at an early age.  Responsibility will become a life lesson.

Teaching children to become self-sufficient is imperative.  One of the best ways to become self-sufficient is to grow your own fruit and vegetables.  So, start small and build you garden over time.  First, try planting kaleidoscope carrots to peak your child’s interest.  Orange can be boring so add a little color.  Plant kaleidoscope carrots that are yellow, purple, orange, red and sometimes white.

 

Another interesting project is to plant colored popcorn.   Popcorn is a favorite on movie night. Husk the corn after it has dried and store for movie night. Furthermore, tomatoes come in different colors too.  I plant red, yellow, orange and purple tomatoes.  Get creative and make it a family event.  Children often like what you like.  If you introduce them to things early, it will stick with them.


My grandchildren love gardening.  I introduced them to gardening by allowing them to water my garden.  I allowed them to pick peppers and green beans.  Soon they wanted to plant their own vegetables.

 

Furthermore, allow your children to explore seed catalogues.  They can check out different varieties of plants and flowers. For example, sunflower are big deal at my house. We plant Russian Mammoth, Lemon Queen, and Autumn beauty for a colorful summer display. The Mexican Sunflower is small and could be a variable option for children. Don’t leave pumpkins off you list.  Remember they do require lots of space though.

 

I plan to let my granddaughter color these preschool garden vegetable printables.   So, grab a box of crayons and print these tomato, green beans, carrot and corn printables, and let your kids go to work too.
