Smiling Bunny with Giant Beet Greens

A cheerful floppy-eared bunny sits proudly beside towering beet leaves and a round root with sprouting greens.

🎨 How to color it

Use soft tan for the bunny, bright beet green for the tall crinkly leaves, and rosy purple for the round root vegetable. With toddlers, chunky crayons can fill the bunny’s big belly and the wide leaves first; staying inside every vein is optional. Try making the tallest leaf two greens, light on one side and darker on the other, like it grew in a sunny patch.

Every day, Dottie pressed one beet leaf flat with her paws. She wanted a little boat she made all by herself. Her round beet button sat beside her, red and smooth, click-click.

Until one day, rain plopped into the garden row. Because of that, her leaf boat wobbled. Because of THAT, Dottie tied on the beet button for a tiny anchor. “Hold steady,” she whispered.

At last the boat floated, proud and green. Can you spot Dottie sitting by the tall leaves, near her red, smooth click-click?
