Look who wandered out of the woods! In this wild boar coloring page, a bristly visitor leans over the fence to say hello. Print this detailed free farm coloring page and take your time bringing it to life.
Why Older Kids Enjoy This Scene
The boar stands on its hind legs with its front hooves resting on a fence post, and its coat is drawn with lots of short, bristly strokes. The chunky fence posts have knots and wood grain that look great shaded in browns. Behind it are trees, bushes, leaves and wildflowers that turn the page into a real forest-edge scene. There are plenty of textures here for kids who like a longer project.

Wild Boars and Farm Pigs Are Family
Our farm pigs are descended from the wild boar, which people tamed a very long time ago. Wild boars live in the forest in family groups called sounders. The mothers are called sows, and the young are striped piglets whose light stripes help them hide on the forest floor. Grown males have long tusks. Just like their farm cousins, wild boars dig in the ground with their snouts and love a good mud bath.
