Little Onion's First Peek: A Sprouting Wonder

Fun Fact

Did you know that an onion bulb is actually a modified stem that stores food for the plant? The layers you peel are really specialized leaves! Onions are also biennials, meaning they take two years to complete their life cycle, producing the bulb in the first year and flowers in the second.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Rooted Realism - Use light browns, tans, and even a touch of pale orange for the delicate roots, showing them blend into the soil with fine lines.
2. 2🖍️ Soil Secrets - Experiment with different shades of brown, black, and even a little dark green for the soil to give it depth and texture, showing individual clumps.
3. 3✨ Dewdrop Delight - Leave the dewdrop mostly white or use a very light blue for its base, then add a tiny dark spot underneath for a shadow to make it truly sparkle.
4. 4🌈 Vibrant Verdant - Color the onion shoot with bright, fresh greens, perhaps adding lighter shades where the sun hits and darker tones for depth in its folds.
