What is shown in this coloring page?

Radishes are root vegetables known for their crisp texture and sharp, sometimes spicy, flavor. They come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, from the common small red globe to longer white daikon varieties. The part we eat grows underground, while the leafy greens sprout above. They are fast-growing and are often one of the first vegetables ready to harvest in the spring garden.

How should you color this page?

1. The Radish Bulb: This is the main, round part. While often red, you can use your imagination!
2. The Leaves & Stems: Color the leafy tops and thin stems.
3. The Roots: Don’t forget the tiny root hairs at the bottom of each bulb.
4. The Background: Add a simple garden scene, soil, or a pattern to make your radishes pop.
