Coloring page story

"This one looks like a bumpy brown rock," said Tom, holding a potato.

"That's because my favorite game is hide-and-seek!" laughed a voice from the potato. "I'm Patty the Potato! I hide under a warm blanket of dirt where it's dark and safe. The farmer has to find me!"

Unexpected Twist: "Being found is the best part," Patty explained. "Because then I get to be part of the most fun game of all: becoming warm, fluffy mashed potatoes!"

Life Lesson: Some of the best things are hidden at first. Interactive Element: Let's play hide-and-seek like a potato! Cover your eyes... One, two, three... PEEK! I found you!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is perfect for ages 3-5. The single, expressive main character is easy to focus on. The concept of 'hide-and-seek' is a familiar and beloved game, making the lesson about root vegetables instantly relatable and fun. The large, simple shapes are ideal for developing coloring skills.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Patty the Potato is having so much fun! What color is a potato? You can use your brown crayon to color Patty. Look in the back! Other little potatoes are hiding in the dark brown dirt. Can you find them all? The crate they are on is made of wood, so you could use a light brown or tan for that. Let's make this a fun game of color-and-seek!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on regular copy paper. This page is great for a quick, fun activity. You could even print two copies and have a coloring race to see who can find and color all the hiding potatoes first, making the National Farmers Market Week lesson interactive.

Recommended Tools

Brown, tan, and black crayons are perfect for this picture. Using the side of a peeled crayon can help cover the large areas of the dirt mound and crate quickly, which is a fun technique for little hands to learn.
