Hungry Cow Calf Munching Hay at the Feeder
Coloring guide
A big-eyed baby cow stands next to a wooden hay feeder with a mouthful of hay, and a few strands are still sticking out of its mouth. It has small horns, a tuft of hair on its forehead, floppy ears, large spots along its side and a tufted tail curling at the back. The feeder is a slatted wooden box heaped with hay, with loose straw scattered on the ground below. Behind the calf, a barn wall of vertical planks has a horizontal rail and round bolt dots. Large shapes and clean lines make it a good fit for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Soft brown or black spots, golden yellow hay and warm red or gray barn boards would all work. Print it at home, and maybe keep a few spare copies. More like this: explore the Cow, Shark and Monkey coloring page collections.

- 3Fill the hay pile and loose strands with golden yellow, and add burnt orange shadows under the hay.
- 4Color the cow's horns cream, the inside of the ears and the nose soft pink, and the hooves charcoal gray.

- 6Optional: Add a little darker shading on the hay and along the barn wall edges to make the scene feel cozier.
