Fun Fact

Did you know that yams are often confused with sweet potatoes, but they are actually a completely different plant! True yams are starchy and less sweet, grown in tropical climates, and can be very large, sometimes weighing over 100 pounds!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Layering Textures** - Use different shades of brown, orange, and red to create realistic wood grain on the basket and counter. Vary your pressure to show knots and imperfections.
2. 2🖍️ **Yam Variations** - Yams come in many colors, from purple to white to reddish-brown. Experiment with warm oranges, yellows, and even subtle purples for depth on the different yams.
3. 3✨ **Shiny Knife Blade** - For the chef's knife, use light grey or silver with a tiny touch of light blue to suggest a metallic, reflective surface. Leave small areas white for highlights.
4. 4🌈 **Subtle Details** - Don't forget the tiny details! Use muted greens and browns for the fallen leaves and a vibrant green for the fresh herbs to make them pop against the earthy tones.
