Why Little Ones Love This Cow
The cow is big and round, with chunky spots kids can color one at a time. A tuft of grass sticks out of her mouth, and there’s even a tiny clover blossom in it. Flowers grow beside her, and a few smooth pebbles sit in front. There’s plenty to discover without anything being too tricky.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best
Click “Print” on the right, or download the image or PDF.
Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.
Regular printer paper is fine for colored pencils; for paint, use thicker paper (65–110 lb).
Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
What Do Cows Eat?
Cows love to eat grass and herbs, and in winter they eat hay, which is simply dried grass. Cows have no top front teeth, just a hard pad. So they wrap their long tongue around the grass and pull it off. Cows also drink lots of water every day. And when a cow is happy, she says “moo”!
Fun Ideas for the Finished Page
Glue real grass or strips of green paper under the cow so she has extra lunch. During story time, your little one can shout “moo” every time a cow shows up in the book.
