Meet the garden’s silliest trio: lettuce, cabbage and kohlrabi grinning side by side. This vegetable coloring page has big, easy shapes for little artists – grab the free printable and fill the garden bed with color.
Why Toddlers Love These Veggie Pals
On the left, a head of lettuce with ruffled leaves leans in with a big smile. In the middle, a round cabbage stands tall on its thick stalk and waves a leaf. On the right sits a plump kohlrabi with long leafy stems on top and little roots below. A few grass blades, a tiny flower and dots of soil finish the scene – lots of big areas, very little fuss.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best
Click “Print” on the right, or download the image or PDF.
Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.

Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
Fun Facts About These Veggies
Cabbage and kohlrabi are close cousins in the cabbage family. With kohlrabi, you eat the round bulb that grows above the ground on the stem – it’s not a root at all. Lettuce belongs to a completely different family and is actually related to the sunflower. All three love a garden bed and need plenty of water. Kohlrabi is crunchy and mildly sweet, so lots of kids enjoy it raw.
What to Do with Your Finished Veggies
Cut out all three and glue them onto a strip of brown paper for a classroom veggie patch. Or play a matching game at the grocery store: who can find a real kohlrabi, cabbage and lettuce?
