Sun’s out, pool’s out! This little piglet is treating itself to a cool dip. Our pig in a paddling pool coloring page has big, round shapes for the youngest artists. Grab this free summer coloring page and make a splash.
Why This Bathing Piglet Is So Cute
The piglet sits upright in the water with big shiny eyes, rosy cheeks and a content little smile. The round pool has a thick rim and vertical stripes around the outside. Tiny bubbles float in the water, and the curly tail pokes out at the back. Just a few large shapes make it ideal for ages two to four.

How Pigs Stay Cool
Pigs can’t sweat, so they get hot quickly on warm days. On the farm they look for shade, water or a mud puddle. Some farms even set up showers or water spots to help their pigs cool down. Wet skin and mud also protect against sunburn, since light-skinned pigs have sensitive skin. A paddling pool would be true pig luxury!
Fun Ideas for the Pool Pig
Glue blue tissue paper or shiny foil onto the water to make the pool sparkle. On a hot day, splash around yourselves and talk about how other animals keep cool.
