Hand on his hip and pitchfork in hand – this farmer coloring page shows a cheerful farmer ready for chores in the barn. Grab the free printable and dress this farmer in overalls in your favorite colors!
Why Little Ones Love This Farmer
The farmer fills almost the whole page, and his outfit is made of big, simple shapes: cap, shirt, overalls and chunky rubber boots. There’s a little sewn-on patch on one knee and a pocket on the bib. His three-pronged pitchfork is long and straight. Just a few blades of grass and two tiny flowers sit at his feet, so nothing distracts little colorists.

What Does a Farmer Use a Pitchfork For?
A farmer uses a pitchfork to clear dirty bedding out of the barn and spread fresh straw and hay for the animals. The long, pointed tines grab loose material really well. The manure goes onto a pile and is later spread on the fields as fertilizer, helping crops grow. Overalls are perfect for the job: they’re tough, have lots of pockets and stay put when you bend over. Rubber boots keep feet dry in the barn.
What to Do with Your Finished Farmer
Glue a scrap of denim or felt onto the knee as a real patch. Or play “What’s the farmer doing?” – one child acts out scooping straw with a pitchfork while the others guess.
