Preschool art activities are one of the most natural ways to introduce young children to the world of vegetable gardening.
When a three or four year old colors a fat orange carrot or traces the leaves of a pea plant, they are doing more than making a pretty picture.
They are building the kind of familiarity with vegetables that makes them curious rather than resistant when those same vegetables appear on their plate at dinner.
Preschool art activities that connect to real food and real gardens plant a seed of interest that grows right alongside the child.
Art also develops the fine motor skills preschoolers need for writing, cutting, and self-care tasks — and a vegetable garden theme gives those skills a meaningful, engaging context.
Coloring the rounded shape of a pumpkin, staying inside the outline of a tall corn stalk, or cutting out a bookmark along a straight edge all build hand strength and pencil control in ways that feel like play rather than practice.
Our cute vegetable garden preschool art activities are designed to teach about what grows in a garden.
The vegetables are large and easy to color for little hands.
We have added some cute bugs, butterflies, birds and other simple-to-color images to make the preschool learning activities pages even more fun.
Learn about broccoli, carrots, corn, green bean, lettuce, onions, peas, potato, pumpkin and tomatoes growing in the vegetable garden!
Our Kids Garden Club preschool art activities are designed with small hands in mind.
The images are bold and simple, with thick outlines that are easy for young children to follow. Every page ties back to something real — a vegetable that grows in a garden, a bug that visits flowers, a scarecrow that stands watch over a pumpkin patch.
Use them at home on a rainy afternoon, in a preschool classroom as part of a gardening unit, or as a quiet activity while older siblings work on their own garden projects.
Print extras to send home with friends, tuck into birthday cards, or save in a keepsake folder to look back on as children grow.
Vegetables are always a favorite preschool learning activity!
We added faces to some of the more popular garden vegetables, to make them even more fun to color.
The carrots, corn, green beans, radish, and tomato will spark the imagination of preschool and kindergarten age kids, while giving them a fun way to practice their fine motor skills.
Garden scarecrows are sure to bring a smile to the face of preschool or kindergarten students!
They are a fun fall learning activity for home or classroom.
Our printable vegetable garden bookmarks are a fun learning activity for preschool through early elementary age children.
Print them on card-stock weight paper for use as a bookmark, or just print and color on plain paper for a fun coloring activity.
Bookmarks are a fun art project for children to use in the classroom, at home, or to give as gifts for moms, dads, or grandparents.
