    Make Farm Animal Coloring Pages

    Your creative buddy says:
    "Are you as excited to make this as I am?"

    Step 1: Get Your Coloring Pages

    May need grown-up help
    First, get your farm animal coloring pages ready. You can print them out.

    Step 2: Choose Your Colors

    Pick out your favorite crayons or markers. You can also use colored pencils if you like!

    Step 3: Color Your Farm Animals

    Start coloring your farm animals! Use all the colors you want. Don't worry if you go outside the lines, just have fun.

    Step 4: Add Fun Textures (Optional)

    HOT! Grown-up required
    If you want to make your pictures extra special, you can add textures. Ask a grown-up to help you put a little liquid glue on parts of your picture. Then, you can stick on pieces of tissue paper, cotton balls for fluffy clouds or sheep, or even cool washi tape for patterns. Remember to ask a grown-up for help with glue, especially if it's hot glue.

    Step 5: Try Different Ways to Color (Optional)

    You can try coloring in different ways! Ask a grown-up to tape your coloring page to a wall so you can color standing up. Or, you can lie on your back under a table and color a page taped to the bottom of the table. You can also sit on a chair without back support to help your body get stronger while you color.
