Printable Vegetable Coloring Pages

After you download this set of printable Vegetable Coloring Pages, cut them along the dotted line in the middle to create half-pages.  I created the cover page to go on top, the vegetables to go in any order your child chooses, the ‘What vegetables are ____?’ pages to go next, and the Favorite Vegetable writing page to go last.

If you have introduced alphabetical order, your child can use that as a guide for ordering the pages if you wish.  Before you arrange and staple, you could also group by beginning letter if your child isn’t read for alphabetical order yet.

Of course you put them in any order you and your child desire!

In this 17-page set of vegetable coloring pages, you’ll find the following words and pictures: 

♦ ‘All About Vegetables’ cover page

♦ green beans, corn, broccoli

♦ asparagus, carrot, eggplant

♦ cauliflower, pepper, cucumber

♦ peas, tomato, sweet potato

♦ radish, celery, onion

♦ cabbage, kale, spinach, zucchini

♦ What vegetables are green?

♦ What vegetables are orange?

♦ “My favorite vegetable is _____.”

Learning Ideas for Using these at Home or in the Classroom

This packet of Vegetable Coloring Pages can be used in a variety of ways! Just choose an option from the list below, print your papers, and let the learning begin!

— Use this activity to teach colors to your young ones. Before assembling the booklet, you and your child can lay the pages out and sort the fruit by color. Pull out a green crayon and find the vegetables that are green and put those in a pile (broccoli, cabbage, zucchini). Then find a orange crayon and sort the fruits that are orange into a pile (sweet potatoes, carrots).

— Add this set of vegetable coloring pages to a nutrition unit study for your Preschool or Kindergarten children. Talk about how vegetables should make up a large part of the food we eat each day. Browse through the pages with your child and have him write a check or dot on the vegetables that he loves the most. Teach the food groups and why vegetables are so important for our health and helping us grow.

— For children that are beginning readers, sort the pages by beginning sound. If it is appropriate, show how to organize the pages with the beginning sound in the correct alphabetical order.

— Examine vegetables using the 5 senses. Talk about each of the 5 senses in relation to fruit. What vegetables are sweet? What vegetables are hard? Mushy? Which vegetables look like leaves? What do they smell like? Which vegetables have a very mild taste?

— Sort vegetables by type. Sort vegetables by those that are root vegetables, those where we eat the leaves, those which grow on a bush, and those that grow on a stalk.

— Pair this fun set of coloring pages with a V is for Vegetable letter study for your preschooler or early reader. Vegetables are a very popular learning them with Letter of the Week studies!
