Smiling Watering Can, Garden Gloves and Trowel

A cheerful watering can with big round eyes and an open smile sits at the back of this scene, with a curved handle on the left and a long spout topped by a sprinkler head with small holes on the right. In front of it, a pair of garden gloves lean together, each with its own happy face, ribbed cuffs and five rounded fingers. A hand trowel lies across the bottom, with a pointed metal blade, a banded neck and a handle with a small hole at the end. The shapes are big and simple, which makes them easy for younger kids to color. For Labor Day, try talking about the tools people use at work, then let children pick a different color for each tool. The printable page also works well for a quick lesson on gardening jobs.
