Mr. Tomato grins and points one finger skyward, his big sombrero tilted at a jaunty angle and a curly mustache stealing the show. Color his round body classic tomato red, the sombrero warm tan, and his boots a deep chocolate brown. A bright yellow bow tie makes him look extra ready to impress.

A cartoon tomato stands in a neat suit and bow tie, one hand raised in a friendly wave. Color his tomato body bright red, his sombrero warm straw yellow with a brown band, and his suit deep blue or forest green. A bright yellow bow tie pulls the whole look together.
Ripe cherry tomatoes hang in a loose cluster from twisting vines, with broad leafy foliage filling the upper corners. Color the tomatoes deep red or a warm orange for a still-ripening look, with forest green leaves and a tan vine. The white space at the bottom leaves room to add your own garden background.
Four tomatoes cluster on a vine together, from a big round one on the left to a tiny cherry at the bottom. Color them all classic red or mix reds, oranges, and yellows to show each tomato at a different stage of ripening. The chunky outlines make this a good page for young children just starting out.
A round, plump tomato sits front and center with a curly stem and two little leaves on top. Color the body classic tomato red and the stem and leaves fresh green. The bold, simple outline makes this a great pick for first-time colorists.
This tomato is sliced right down the middle, showing six even pockets packed with little seeds around a star-shaped core. Color the outer edge tomato red, the inner flesh a lighter coral, and the tiny seeds pale yellow. It's a fun way to show kids what's really inside their favorite garden fruit.
A happy little tomato stands on two stubby legs, waving its round arms with big sparkly eyes and rosy cheeks. Color the body bright tomato red, the cheeks soft pink, and the leafy top fresh green. This friendly face makes coloring feel like meeting a new garden friend.
This tomato is drawn in careful botanical detail, with a ridged, textured skin, a thick curling stem, and a full skirt of veined leaves underneath. Try a deep tomato red with darker shading in the ridges, and layered greens for the leaves and star-shaped calyx. It's a satisfying pick for anyone who likes coloring real texture.
Three tomato slices overlap each other, each one showing four seed pockets dotted with little seeds. Try tomato red for the rinds, a lighter coral for the flesh, and pale yellow for the seeds so each slice stands out from the ones behind it. Coloring the front slice first makes the layering easier to follow.
A whole tomato plant rises above the soil line with three round tomatoes, small white flowers, and a spread of veined leaves, while a tangle of roots stretches down below. Use rich greens for the leaves and stem, tomato red for the fruit, and warm browns for the soil and roots. It's a great pick for coloring the whole plant, not just the fruit.
Whole tomatoes ring the outside while sliced wedges, tiny seeds, flowers, and curling vines build inward toward a flower center. Layer tomato red with deeper shading in the outer ring, then shift to leafy greens and soft petal tones as you move toward the middle. This one rewards a slow, careful coloring session.
Four tomato seedlings line up in a row, growing from a tiny sprout into a full round tomato with leafy branches. Color the smallest plant a fresh light green and let the tomatoes deepen to red as they grow bigger across the row. It's a fun way to color a whole growing story in one page.
Three heirloom tomatoes, one deeply ribbed, one long and curved, and one striped and round, sit together surrounded by curling vine tendrils, leaves, and small flowers. Give each tomato its own shade, from deep orange-red to golden green streaks, so their differences stand out. The tangle of vines around them makes for a rich, absorbing coloring session.
Two simple tomatoes sit side by side, a smaller one and a bigger one, each topped with its own curly stem and leafy calyx. Color the smaller tomato green like it's still ripening, and the bigger one bright tomato red for a fully ripe look. It's an easy pair to color while learning how tomatoes change as they grow.
A grinning tomato-headed gardener in overalls and boots waters a row of little seedlings with a watering can, droplets falling in an arc. Color the head bright tomato red, the overalls denim blue, and the seedlings and background grass fresh green. Small flowers and fence posts fill out the scene for plenty to color.
Fun things to do with your Tomato coloring pages
Make a tomato variety field guide
Use different colors of paint to make each type of tomato look different. Red is classic for beefsteak tomatoes. Yellow and orange are good for heirloom tomatoes. Bright red is good for cherries. Put the pages together in a small book. Under each page, add the variety name and a fun fact.
Build a "stages of ripening" chart
Color the same tomato outline four times, starting with pale green and working to yellow, orange, and deep red. Line them up to show how a tomato changes on the vine — it's like a little science lesson that also looks great on your wall.
Design a homemade pizzeria menu
Color the pages of the tomato book, then glue them to folded paper to make menus for a pretend restaurant you can make at home. Add prices, invent specials like "Cherry Bomb Pizza," and serve cardboard slices to anyone who orders.
Plant real tomato seeds
Save a few seeds from a grocery store tomato. Press the seeds into soil in a yogurt cup. Tape a colored tomato page to the cup as a label. Look at the little sprouts next to the big ones on your windowsill.
Cut tomato garden bookmarks
Color the long pages with a vine and cherry tomato design. Then, cut them into tall strips. Finally, cover the strips with clear tape to make sturdy bookmarks. It's perfect for marking your place in a gardening book or a chapter book set in Italy.
Play tomato-or-not bingo
Cut out the colored tomatoes and mix them with pictures of other foods — strawberries, red peppers, apples, radishes — on a homemade bingo card. Say the names of different fruits and vegetables and see who can identify the tomatoes first.
Write a tomato recipe card set
On the back of each colored page, write a simple family recipe that uses tomatoes. Some examples are pasta sauce, gazpacho, caprese salad, or salsa. Punch a hole in the corner and tie them together with string to make a kid-sized cookbook.
Set the table for an Italian dinner night
Use the tomato pages as placemats and decorations for your table when you have a pasta night. Then, let guests color their own placemat between courses. Pair it with a red-and-green checkered tablecloth and a basket of breadsticks for the full trattoria feel.
