Young Farmer Milking a Spotted Cow in the Barn
Coloring guide
A happy child sits on a little three-legged stool and milks a smiling spotted cow into a metal bucket. The child wears a polka-dot bandana, overalls and rubber boots, and thin streams of milk fall into the pail. The cow stands close by with big friendly eyes, a tuft of hair between her horns and a long tail with a fluffy tip. Wooden barn plank walls and a barn door sit behind them, and tufts of hay are scattered over the floor. Big cow spots and bandana dots are simple to color, so it's a nice free printable for kids who love farm animals. Brown or black patches on the cow, a red bandana and yellow hay would feel cozy. This fits right in with our Farmer coloring pages — see also Teddy Bears and Hamburger.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big red barn walls and door areas in barn red, leaving the cow and farmer for later.
- 2Color the wooden beam, the diagonal door frame and the stool in wood brown, plus the stool legs and crossbar.
- 3Fill the farmer's overalls and bib in sky blue, the shirt and sleeve in golden yellow, the face and hand in peach, and the boots in chocolate brown.
- 4Color the cow's dark spots in charcoal gray, its nose and ears in coral pink, and its horns in light tan, keeping the body, tail and forehead tuft white.
- 5Add the light gray milk bucket, golden yellow straw on the floor, amber orange stool seat, and the red polka-dot bandana with white dots left unpainted.
- 6Optional: add a little shading with a darker shade of the same color on the cow spots and barn walls to make them look more rounded.
