Fun Photosynthesis Coloring Activity for Kids

Looking for a creative way to teach your children about how plants grow and help our planet? This adorable coloring activity introduces kids to the magical world of photosynthesis through art and rhyme!

On the left side of the page, you’ll find a lively black-and-white drawing ready for coloring. Arrows show how sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the animals, and nutrients from the soil help the plant make energy (sugar). In return, the plant gives off oxygen, helping everyone breathe.

At the bottom of the illustration, kids can trace or color the simple formula of photosynthesis:
Sunlight + Nutrients + CO₂ → Sugar + Oxygen

On the right side, a fun, easy-to-read poem brings the science to life, explaining how plants and animals work together in nature. Words like CO₂, sunbeams, sugar, and oxygen are highlighted in bright colors to help kids connect the story to the science.

Activity Idea:

• Encourage your child to color the picture using bright greens for the plant, warm yellows for the sunlight, and soft browns for the earth.
• As they color, read the poem together to reinforce learning.
• Talk about how plants help keep the air fresh, making a perfect bridge to conversations about gardening, nature walks, or taking care of indoor plants.

This is a great activity for visual learners and little nature lovers!
