About this coloring page

A young cow with patches on its body and a tuft of hair between its little horns stands in a sunny meadow. Daisies and leafy stems bloom around its hooves, grass tufts dot the ground, and a bush and rolling hills sit behind it. Three fluffy clouds float in the sky, and the cow's tail swishes to one side.

Coloring ideas

Black and white is the classic dairy cow, but brown and white or all-brown cows are just as real. Color the patches first, then the body. Use bright colors for the daisies, layered greens for the meadow and hills, and leave the clouds white against a blue sky.

Skills practiced

Talking about where milk comes from, and foods made from it like cheese, butter and yogurt, connects the page to everyday life. Counting the flowers and clouds, and finding which group has more, is a quick comparing-numbers activity.

Printing tips

The flowers and grass have small spaces, so colored pencils help older children finish neatly. Younger kids can focus on the big cow shape with crayons and skip the tiny details.
