Why This Pattern Page Is So Absorbing

Six pigs are spread across the page, each decorated differently: diagonal stripes, dots, circles, zigzags or a whole flower garden on the belly. Around them are a barn with a cross-braced door, a striped silo, big sunflowers, hay bales, ornament-filled trees and a winding cobblestone path. There’s even a tractor in the bottom corner. Hundreds of little sections make it perfect for older kids and adults who want to unwind while they color.

Pigs Are Smarter Than You Think

Pigs are among the smartest animals on the farm. They learn quickly, remember routes and can even learn to come when their name is called. They communicate with more than 20 different sounds, from soft grunts to loud squeals. Pigs love living in groups and are very curious. When they have enough room, they keep their sleeping and bathroom spots neatly apart.

Ideas for Your Pattern Page

Give each pig its own color family – one blue, one green, one orange – and keep the background in calm tones. Framed, the finished page makes real wall art for a bedroom or kitchen.

Color Ideas for the Patterned Pigs

With zentangle art, anything goes – here are a few ideas to get started.

🩷 Pink gradient
Make all pigs pink, but use a different shade for each pattern.
🌻 Sunflower gold
Yellow and brown sunflowers add warm pops of color.
❤️ Barn red
Color the barn and tractor a bold red for contrast.
🌈 Rainbow herd
Six pigs, six rainbow colors – one for each.
💡 Coloring Tip: Work from top to bottom and rest your hand on a scrap of paper to avoid smudging. Freshly sharpened pencils are a must for all the tiny sections.
