Try a New Look for Your Onion Coloring Pages

No big box of stuff needed for this onion coloring sheet! Set up the materials: pencils, scraps of paper, and glue, and let your kids play with an easy activity using their favorite veggies!

1. Give the Skin Some Texture

To get an onion with a curling peel, color the bulb lightly. Glue torn pieces of tan tissue paper on top of the outside skin. Leave some loose at the edge to give it that dry feel, and finish off the roots with brown pencil strokes.

2. Make Rainbow Onion Rings

Coloring an onion for kids can be done as a craft project! Choose the halved onion pictures (the ones that come in bands) and then ask your kids to color each “band” of the onion a different color starting in the center and moving outwards around the outside edges.

You can give your little one purple and pink, but if you’re feeling crazy, go wild and do rainbow stripes!

3. Build a Little Garden Scene

Here’s how you can start this project:

You can use a brown crayon to color the roots of your onion. And some greens to paint the leaves that grow out of the bulb (this is actually the hardest part). Once done, glue the piece on cardboard for support.

You can then put some leaves made from paper around your onion and draw the little garden sign with your kids’ names.

Share these favorite onion coloring pages with others who love to spend an afternoon coloring and crafting.
