Say hi to the folks who run the farm! This farmer coloring page shows a friendly couple waving in front of their home. Download the free printable and give this bold farm coloring page some bright, clean colors.
Why Kids Love These Friendly Farmers
The geometric style uses clean lines, circles and rectangles, so every area is easy to see. The farmer wears a ball cap, a beard, a plaid shirt, overalls and rubber boots and holds a pitchfork, while his partner has a headscarf, a long apron and a basket. Both are waving with one hand raised. All around, kids can spot a barn, a silo, a tractor, a small house, a cow, a sheep, a pig and a chicken.

What Do Farmers Do All Day?
Farmers take care of animals, fields and machines. Their day often starts very early because the animals need food and care every single day, weekends and holidays included. In the fields, they grow crops like grain, potatoes or feed for their animals. To do that, they need to know a lot about weather, soil and plants, and they drive tractors and other big machines. Farming is a skilled job that people learn through hands-on training and school.
