Did you know that potatoes are actually modified stems, not roots? The potato plant stores energy in these underground stems, which swell up to become the delicious tubers we eat!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Soil - Use various shades of brown, gray, and even a touch of red or orange to create depth and texture in the soil. Build up layers to show richness.
2. 2🖍️ Rooty Details - For the delicate roots, use fine-tipped pencils in light browns and creams. Add tiny shadows where roots overlap to make them stand out.
3. 3✨ Potato Perfection - Give the developing potatoes subtle variations in color, from light yellow to pale brown, and use soft shading to suggest their round forms.
4. 4🌈 Wiggly Friend - Make the friendly earthworm pop with shades of pink, red-brown, or even a touch of purple. Use lighter colors for its underside and darker for its segments.
