Papery Garlic Bulb with Torn Tip and Loose Cloves

A whole garlic bulb sits in the center of the page with a tall, narrow neck that ends in a jagged, torn-looking tip at the top. The rounded body has thin curved lines and short hatch marks that show the papery skin. On the front, the outer layer has split open so you can see a plump clove tucked inside. Another clove leans out on the right side, with a pointed tip and more little shading lines. The thick outer outline makes it easy for small hands to stay inside the shapes. Try coloring the papery skin in soft whites, creams, or pale purples, then give the exposed cloves a slightly different shade so they stand out. It also works well for a quick lesson on how garlic grows in a bulb made of separate cloves, and it's a nice fit for a food or garden unit. Printable and free for home or classroom use.
