The Grand Champion Zucchini

Fun Fact

Did you know the world record for the longest zucchini was over 8 feet long? That's taller than most adults! Zucchinis are actually a type of fruit, not a vegetable, because they grow from a flower and contain seeds.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Zucchini Texture - Use varying shades of green, from light lime to deep forest, to give your giant zucchini a realistic, bumpy texture. Add tiny speckles for extra detail.
2. 2🖍️ Rustic Wood - For the wooden table and fence, use browns and grays. Try drawing wood grain lines and adding shadows under the zucchini to make it look like it's resting on the surface.
3. 3✨ Ribbon Highlight - Make the 'Best in Show' ribbon pop! Choose a bright, cheerful color like blue or red, and use a lighter shade or white crayon to create a shiny highlight, making it look like silk.
4. 4🌈 Depth and Shadow - To make the zucchini look truly massive, use darker greens and even a touch of black or dark blue in the shaded areas underneath and on its underside, creating a sense of weight and dimension.
