Eat Your Vegetables Day is June 17 and we are here for it! I mean what better way to encourage eating vegetables that to print out a coloring page and turn boring black and white veggies colorful with a scribble of crayon? Think it will work to get your kids to eat a rainbow of veggies tonight for dinner?
Of course it will. Don't be silly.
This month's coloring page by children's book author and illustrator, Melanie Hope Greenberg, salutes the time honored tradition of trying to get your kids to eat their greens (and reds, oranges and yellows)!
This vegetable-positive coloring page features a mom serving her child a cornucopia of good things to eat. Children can make the edible bounty even more delicious-looking by using whatever colors they want.
Pink carrots? Purple peas? Blue broccoli? Go for it.
But remember, eat the veggies, not the coloring page!
