Curious Pig Sniffing a Crate of Apples and Carrots
Coloring guide
A nosy little pig bends over a wooden crate heaped with apples and carrots, eyes looking down and snout nearly touching the fruit. It has floppy ears, a curly tail and a happy smile. Some extra treats are lying on the ground close by, including an apple with a leaf on the left and two leafy-topped carrots in the lower corners. A few small tufts of grass are drawn around the scene. Thick, clean outlines and roomy open areas help preschoolers and early elementary kids who are still getting a feel for their crayons. You could go with soft pink for the pig, red and green for the apples, bright orange for the carrots and warm brown for the crate planks. Print this sheet at home for an easy afternoon activity.

- 3Color the hooves dark brown and the crate planks in wood brown, leaving the gaps between planks as they are.
- 4Fill the apples in cherry red and the carrots in tangerine orange, including the carrot tips.
