Month by Month List of Botanical Coloring Pages & Plant Profiles
Looking for a botanical coloring page from one of our past issues or information about a specific wild plant or mushroom that we’ve profiled in Wild Kids Magazine? Here’s a list of all of the wild plants and mushrooms we’ve covered so far and the yearly themes.
The theme in 2019 was on common wild edible plants. The focus in 2020 was herbs, both wild and ones you can grow in your garden. The theme for 2021 was flowers. In 2022, we focused on general wild and garden plants. The theme for 2023 was wild mushrooms, and the theme for 2024 was invasive plants. In 2025, the theme is trees.
