Why Kids Love This Big Tractor

The tire tread is made of lots of slanted lugs that older kids can color one by one. The cab is open all around, so you can spot the steering wheel and the driver’s seat. Up front, the tractor grins with big headlight eyes, there are steps on the side and a tow hitch sticks out the back. A barn, a long fence and little tufts of grass fill the background.

Fun Facts About Farm Tractors

A tractor is the hardest-working vehicle on the farm. It pulls and pushes tools like plows, trailers and seed drills. The huge rear tires with deep tread grip the ground so the tractor doesn’t spin out in muddy fields. For really heavy jobs, farmers sometimes add dual wheels – the extra tires spread the weight so the soil doesn’t get packed down as much. Most big tractors run on a diesel engine.

What to Do with Your Finished Tractor

Cut out the tractor and place it on a big sheet where you draw fields, roads and pastures – now you have your own farm map. Or make up a story about everything the tractor does during one long workday.

Color Ideas for Your Big Tractor

Tractors come in lots of bold colors, so take your pick.

πŸ’š Field green
Green with yellow rims is a favorite tractor look.
❀️ Barn red

⚫ Tire black
Make the tires dark gray or black with slightly lighter lugs.
🌌 Galaxy tractor

πŸ’‘ Coloring Tip: Color the tires dark gray first, then go over the grooves between the lugs in black – it makes the tread look really deep.
