10. Thirsty Tomato Plant Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

In a little pot on the windowsill sat a little tomato plant named Rosie. All through July, she had been growing tiny green tomatoes. But today, the sun was very strong, and Rosie felt very, very thirsty. Her leaves started to droop.

"Oh, I'm so droopy," she sighed.

Just then, a little girl named Ava came by with her small, green watering can. Tinkle, tinkle, splash. She gave Rosie a long, cool drink. Rosie's roots slurped it all up.

Soon, her leaves perked up straight and strong again. "Thank you, Ava!" she rustled happily, knowing she now had enough water to help her little green tomatoes turn bright red in the July sun.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The cause-and-effect story (thirsty plant gets water and is happy) is simple for a 3-5 year old to grasp. The distinct, large shapes of the pot, plant, tomatoes, and watering can are ideal for developing motor skills.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

This little tomato plant was so thirsty, but Ava is here to help! Can you give the plant a drink by coloring the water blue? The tomatoes that are ready to eat can be a bright red, and the other ones can be green. What color will you make Ava's helpful watering can?

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Standard printer paper and settings are perfect. This coloring page can be a great conversation starter about taking care of plants and where our food comes from. You could even plant a real seed after coloring!

Recommended Tools

Washable markers would be great for making the red tomato and the watering can pop with color. Crayons are perfect for the leafy greens and the terra cotta pot, allowing for a nice, earthy texture.
