Shh, don’t wake it up! This little pig is fast asleep in its straw nest. Our sleeping pig coloring page is a calm farm coloring page that’s perfect for winding down. Print it free and color it in soft, sleepy shades.
Why This Sleepy Pig Is So Soothing
The pig has its eyes closed, smiles in its sleep and has its little legs tucked under its body, with a few “Zzz” floating by its snout. It’s snuggled in a thick, round straw nest like a basket. Behind it are a wooden barn with a shingled roof and big door, a tree and a fence. The pig and the nest are easy big shapes, while the barn adds a few extra details.

How Do Pigs Sleep?
Pigs love a soft, warm bed, like a thick layer of straw. They often snuggle up close to other pigs, since they like living in groups. They keep their bed tidy, too: when there’s enough room, pigs keep their bathroom far from their bed. That shows how clean these animals really are. Once they wake up, they head off to sniff out food with their snouts.
Ideas for the Sleepy Pig
Keep the finished page by the bed and make up a short bedtime story about what the piglet is dreaming. If you like, glue bits of real straw or yellow yarn onto the nest.
