Garden Bounty: Harvesting Fresh Broccoli

Fun Fact

Did you know that broccoli is actually a flower? It's part of the cabbage family, and those tight little florets you eat are flower buds that would open into yellow flowers if left to mature!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Broccoli Texture - Use a variety of green shades like forest green, lime green, and olive green, applying small, circular strokes to give the florets a bumpy, realistic texture.
2. 2🖍️ Sturdy Stem - For the main stem and smaller stalks, try using lighter greens or even a pale yellow-green, blending softly to show its smooth, firm surface.
3. 3✨ Child's Hands - Pay attention to the subtle skin tones. Use peach, light brown, or a very light pink, adding slight shadows under the fingers to make them appear to gently grasp the broccoli.
4. 4🌈 Garden Background - Suggest the garden soil with earthy browns and grays, and hint at other plant leaves with muted greens or even a touch of purple for eggplant leaves, keeping it soft so the broccoli stands out.
