Crank, crank, crank – and suddenly there’s butter! This making butter coloring page features a round, giggling butter churn drawn in a cute kawaii style. Grab the free printable and color the churn and its happy little butter pats.
Why Kids Love This Butter Churn
The round glass jar has big sparkly eyes, rosy cheeks and a huge smile. A lid with a knob sits on top, a crank with a heart handle sticks out the side, and inside a paddle swirls through the foamy cream. Two pieces of butter float in the jar, and one of them is smiling right at you. A tiny milk bottle stands next to the churn, with grass and flowers below.

How Is Butter Made?
Butter is made from cream, the rich, fatty part of cow’s milk. When you whip or shake cream long enough, tiny blobs of fat clump together – and that’s butter! The thin liquid left behind is called buttermilk. In the old days, people used a butter churn with a crank or a plunger. And the milk comes from a cow who has had a calf.
What to Do with Your Finished Picture
Try it for real: pour some heavy cream into a jar, screw the lid on tight and shake until a lump of butter forms – then hang your picture next to it. Butter on bread tastes twice as good when you made it yourself!
