Coloring page story

"That zucchini is HUGE!" said Sam, pointing to a giant green vegetable.

"That's because I am great at stretching!" boomed a deep, friendly voice. It was Zola the Zucchini! "Every morning, I would stretch my leaves up, up, up to the sun. Streeeetch! And I drank lots of rainwater to help me grow big and strong."

Unexpected Twist: "I'm not just big," Zola said proudly. "I'm dreaming of becoming a dozen yummy zucchini muffins to share at a party!"

Life Lesson: With sun, water, and a good stretch, you can grow big and strong. Interactive Element: Let's be like Zola! Stand up and stretch your arms as high as you can to the sun! "Good morning, sun!"

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The sheer size of the main character on the page is exciting for a 3-5 year old. The simple, rounded shapes are non-intimidating and easy to color. The theme of stretching and growing connects a physical action children understand to the abstract concept of plant growth, making it a perfect National Farmers Market Week activity.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Wow, Zola the Zucchini is so big! Let's give Zola some beautiful green stripes. You can use light green and dark green! The sun gave Zola energy to grow, so let's make the sun a super bright yellow. Don't forget the little person at the bottom who is so amazed by Zola. You can color their clothes your favorite color!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print in 'landscape' orientation if your printer allows, to give Zola even more room to stretch across the page! Use standard paper, as the large shapes are well-suited for any coloring tool.

Recommended Tools

Large sidewalk chalk (if used on appropriate outdoor surfaces) could be a fun, large-motor-skill activity to draw a giant Zola. For paper, paint sticks (tempera paint sticks) are fantastic as they glide on smoothly, provide thick coverage for large areas, and are mess-free.
