Young Horse Nibbling Grass
Coloring guide
With its head lowered, this young horse is munching on a few tufts of grass. It has big round eyes, a friendly smile and two pointed ears. A long wavy mane falls over the forehead and down the neck, the tail hangs behind, and all four legs end in plain hooves. Small grass clumps sit around its feet, with a bigger patch right under its nose. Thick outlines and roomy shapes work well for preschoolers and early elementary kids who are still building pencil control, and the page is free to print. A chestnut coat with a golden mane is a nice choice, and two or three greens for the grass keep it from looking flat. It would also suit a quiet farm-animal lesson or a rainy afternoon.
