Throughout my childhood, both of my grandmas kept beautiful gardens. I remember feeling the importance of helping out, as well as the excitement of picking and eating the vegetables and fruits when they were ready.
Now that I have kids, it’s even more fun watching their proud faces as they help out in our little garden: planting seeds, watching them sprout up, then finally crunching on a freshly picked prize.
When I started working on this coloring sheet, my kids immediately got out their pens and paper and started drawing along with me. I hope you and your kids enjoy coloring it in, or even creating a drawing of your own garden.
Have a bountiful summer!
Awesome Joel. Trust it’s great fun to pick n eat fresh fruits off the trees. My personal experience was with tropical fruits like rambutan, mango and probably durian ;D These fruits require skin to be removed so I have yet to eat one truly off the tree ;p
I like the fine crisp lines of your drawings. And your drawings are always very children friendly. Mind if I ask who did the bottom coloured pic? Very colourful 😀
Thanks Sandy! Your tropical garden experiences sound amazing!
And yes, my 7 year old daughter did that colorful garden drawing. I love the little cat she put in the tree!
Awesome. Cute cat on the tree! 😀
Hooray! We’ve been Joel fans for a long time. I think I need to print one of these coloring sheets for myself and will my garden to be as productive.
Thanks Marisa!!
Ooo, look at that cat on the tree! An all those ladybugs! So cute! Children’s drawings are so cheerful and positive!
I know very well what you mean. I grew up in a farm and I know how every vegetable grow up, I remember the taste and the work around the garden. Now I have children and I am trying to teach them to appreciate the food as they work in the garden with me. Regards!
