Into the basket they go! This collecting eggs coloring page shows a boy doing one of the best chores on the farm. Grab the free printable and color the whole busy barnyard.
Why Kids Love This Egg-Collecting Scene
The boy wears a plaid shirt, overalls with pockets and polka-dot rain boots – lots to design. He’s holding an egg in each hand, with a lidded basket in front of him. On the left, a hen sits in a straw-filled nest box, and more chickens and a chick wander the yard. A barn with hay and a long wooden fence fill the background.

Where Do Eggs Come From?
A good laying hen lays an egg almost every day – up to about 300 eggs a year. Each egg takes roughly one day to form. Hens like to lay in a quiet, soft nest. The shell color depends on the breed of chicken. On the inside, brown and white eggs are just the same.
What to Do with Your Finished Picture
Cut out paper eggs, decorate them and put them in a real little basket – how many did you collect? Or act out gathering eggs super carefully so none of them drop.
