Behind the glass, something is growing on every level! This greenhouse coloring page lets kids do a little gardening with their pencils. Print this free printable and give all the plants a fresh shade of green.
Why Kids Love This Greenhouse
The big windows reveal three levels of pots, tiny seedlings in trays and leafy plants. A rake, a shovel and a hand trowel hang on one wall, and a wooden door with a round window sits at the bottom. Outside, stepping stones wind toward the door, next to a coiled garden hose and a watering can. Every window pane holds something different to color.

How a Greenhouse Works
A greenhouse has walls and a roof made of glass or clear plastic. Sunlight shines in, and much of the warmth stays trapped inside, so it’s warmer than the garden outside. That lets gardeners start seedlings early in spring, like tomatoes, peppers or cucumbers. When it gets too hot, they open windows or doors to let air in. Since rain can’t fall inside, the plants need regular watering.
What to Do with Your Finished Greenhouse
Tape a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper over the windows to make your greenhouse look real. It also pairs perfectly with a classroom experiment growing cress or beans on the windowsill.
