Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, Junior, LarryBoy, and 23 episode sheets form a set of 55 printable designs, available as VeggieTales coloring pages, with Bible story and pirate scenes.
What’s Inside This Collection
Episode and Video Sheets
Twenty-three pages are framed sheets with title lettering, including Robin Good and His Not So Merry Men, Sweetpea Beauty, Sumo of the Opera, The Penniless Princess, Celery Night Fever, Beauty and the Beet, Happy Tooth Day, and The League of Incredible Vegetables, and a few titles appear twice in different drawings.
Bob, Larry, and Junior
Six pages center on the core trio, with Bob and Larry together, Bob and Junior, Junior with Bob and Larry, Larry on his own, Larry beside a crayfish, and a group page that adds Mr. Nezzer.
LarryBoy
Three pages show LarryBoy, Larry’s caped superhero identity, including a solo portrait with the name lettering and a page where he stands with Bob and Junior.
Friends and Supporting Characters
Ten pages feature the wider cast, including Pa Grape, Madame Blueberry, Junior Asparagus, Jimmy Gourd, Jerry Gourd, Petunia Rhubarb, Ichabeezer, Goliath, Sara Crewe, and the Scallions.
Bible Story Scenes
Four pages show scenes from Bible stories retold in the series, among them a trumpeting crowd, a chocolate factory window with rabbits, a king in a lion’s den, and a robed group among tents.
Space and Pirates
Three pages follow the veggies off to adventure, with a flying saucer scene in space and two pirate pages, one showing a captain peering through a telescope.
Group and Fun Pages
The last six pages round out the set with a big group portrait, a cake covered in lollipops, a group riding in a vehicle, a robed figure standing in a city, a living room scene, and an anime-style group reimagining.
What VeggieTales Coloring Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics views stronger fine motor control as a leading benefit when kids who are 2 through 7 take up structured coloring activities. Begin with character portraits and graduate to the framed episode sheets as skills grow.
A 2005 Art Therapy Journal paper confirmed a measurable drop in anxiety after structured coloring activities. Round, friendly shapes on each character encourage long, even strokes.
VeggieTales is a CGI-animated children’s series created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki, with Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber as its hosts, and its first video came out in 1993. Many of its stories retell Bible stories, which is why some pages in this collection carry that theme.
How to Color VeggieTales Pages Well
- Bob and Larry: color Bob a bright red and Larry a fresh green, then add a darker shade along the edges so the round shapes look full.
- LarryBoy: Give the cape a bold color, such as blue or purple, so it stands out against Larry’s green body.
- Name-based colors: Pa Grape suits a deep purple and Madame Blueberry a soft blue, and the Scallions can be several shades of green.
- Episode sheets: color the title lettering last so it stays crisp, and use the busy background characters to try out several color families.
- Backgrounds: light, soft colors behind the characters keep the focus on the faces.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With VeggieTales Coloring Pages
1. Veggie Stick Puppets
After coloring the portraits of Bob, Larry, Junior, or Pa Grape, back them with card, trim them out, and attach a stick to each one for the Veggie Stick Puppets.
2. Episode Poster Wall
Color several of the framed episode sheets and tape them in a row to make a poster wall of favorite stories.
3. Space and Pirate Mural
Color the space and pirate pages with bright backgrounds, then tape them side by side for a small adventure mural.
4. Character Matching Cards
Print two copies of a few portrait pages, color each pair the same way, and cut them into cards for a memory game.
5. Friendship Bookmark
Finish a tall character page such as LarryBoy, cut a tall skinny strip and keep the margins for scraps, and reinforce the strip with stiff paper.
