Farm coloring pages
Color the pig. A single running pig with large, simple areas to fill. Coloring builds the hand strength your child needs for writing, and naming the colours as they go builds vocabulary.Color the tractor. A single tractor with large, simple areas to fill. Coloring builds the hand strength your child needs for writing, and naming the colours as they go builds vocabulary.Color the picture. A full scene to colour, with plenty of small details for children who are ready for more. Visit the barnyard without leaving the kitchen.
Farm tracing lines
Trace the dotted lines. Start at the dot. Horizontal, vertical and diagonal dotted lines, each with a start dot and a small story: the hen keeps her egg warm until the chick hatches, the farmer plants the seeds, from a seed grows a sunflower, the cow fills the milk bucket and the pig runs to the mud puddle. Start with the horizontal lines at the top, then the vertical ones.
How many chicks can you find? (Ages 3-4) Find 5 chicks hidden in the scene, circle each one, then colour the row underneath and trace the number 5. A calm, absorbing quiet-time activity.How many sunflowers can you find? (Ages 4-5) Find 12 sunflowers hidden in the scene, circle each one, then colour the row underneath and trace the number 12. The harder version has more to find and a bigger number to write.
Complete the pattern. 6 rows of patterns that get harder as you go down: simple AB patterns first, then ABC and AAB. Your child circles what comes next from two choices. Items on this page: pig, sheep, sunflower, horseshoe, milk bucket and seed packet.
Cutting practice Snip lines for beginners at the top, then two bookmarks (running pig and horse) and a fold-out card with farmer and tractor to colour and cut out. Something to keep at the end keeps motivation high.Cutting practice. Two wavy lines to cut along, then six shapes, circles, a triangle, a rectangle and a heart, each holding a farm picture (cow, pig, sheep and sunflower and more). Cut them out and glue them onto paper to make a scene.
Count and trace. Six boxes: count the tractor, cow and sunflower and others, then trace the number. Numbers on this page: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10. Two-digit numbers are traced at full size.
Dab the dots to fill the pig. A big pig filled with dauber-sized circles for a dot marker, bingo dabber or a fingertip of paint, then the word PIG to trace underneath.
Match each picture to its shadow. 5 pictures along the bottom (cow, pig, sheep, tractor and sunflower) and their shadows shuffled along the top. Your child draws a line from each picture to its shadow. Visual discrimination, the skill behind telling b from d.
Trace the letter P. The letter P, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real farm words: pig. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter C. The letter C, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real farm words: cow and chick. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter H. The letter H, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real farm words: horse and hen. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter S. The letter S, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real farm words: sheep and sunflower. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter T. The letter T, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real farm words: tractor. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.Trace the letter F. The letter F, big and small, in tracing rows, then the letter inside real farm words: farmer. Letters come from the pack's own pictures, so each one means something.
All the letters, A to M. Every letter from A to M, big and small, once each, on a three-line guide. A reference page rather than a drill.All the letters, N to Z. Every letter from N to Z, big and small, once each, on a three-line guide. A reference page rather than a drill.
Pigs are among the cleanest farm animals and roll in mud to stay cool.
A hen turns her eggs about fifty times a day.
Sheep can recognise the faces of other sheep.
Sunflowers turn their heads to follow the sun.
Talking during the worksheet builds vocabulary and keeps a preschooler at the table longer. Ask which picture on the page is their favourite and why.
