Farm Girl Milking a Cow in the Barn
Coloring guide
A cheerful girl in a wide-brimmed hat, overalls and tall rubber boots sits on a wooden stool and milks a smiling cow into a metal bucket. She has a long braid over her shoulder and a big grin. The cow stands beside her with large eyes, small horns, a tuft of hair on her head, a patchy spotted coat and a fluffy-tipped tail. Behind them are a wooden barn wall with a crossed plank door, a pile of hay on the left and loose straw on the ground. The big patches on the cow are easy to color, which is good for younger kids. Warm browns for the spots, yellow hay and a bright color for the overalls would look great. Grab the free PDF for a quick coloring break any time. This fits right in with our Cow coloring pages — see also Shark and Monkey.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big barn wall areas and the hay bales: fill the wooden barn walls with barn red and the hay with golden yellow, leaving the cow's body white.
- 2Color the cow's brown patches on its body, back and tail with chocolate brown, and fill the cow's ears and muzzle area with coral pink, keeping the cow's body, head and udder white.
- 3Color the girl's hat with straw yellow, her hair with caramel brown, and her face and hands with peach skin, leaving the eye whites and the cow's eye whites white.
- 4Fill the denim overalls and the wooden stool with sky blue and caramel brown, then color the girl's red shirt sleeves with barn red and her yellow rubber boots with golden yellow.
- 5Color the ground grass with grass green, the milk bucket with steel gray (leaving the rim and inside white), and the cow's hooves with charcoal gray.
- 6Optional: Add a little shading with a darker shade of each color on the shadowed sides of the cow and the hay, and leave small white highlights on the bucket and the girl's hat.
