Seven Smiling Cartoon Vegetables With Waving Hands

Seven cheerful vegetable characters fill the page, each with big round eyes, a wide open smile, and little arms with waving hands. In the top row you will find a round onion with a pointed tip, a carrot with leafy tops, and a small garlic bulb with a curled stem. The middle left shows a round tomato with a tiny leafy top. Along the bottom there is a curved chili pepper with a stem, a mushroom with a smooth wide cap, and a tall broccoli with a bumpy, cloud-like crown. The lines are thick and clean, so the shapes are easy for small hands to color. Since it is filed under Thanksgiving, it could work as a placemat activity before a harvest meal. Ask kids to color each vegetable in its real-life shades, then name each one and talk about which ones they might see on the dinner table. This printable page also suits a quick veggie vocabulary lesson.
