Why Kids Love This Egg-Collecting Farmer
The farmer stands front and center with a headscarf, curly hair, rolled-up sleeves, overalls and rubber boots. Her woven basket holds a pile of round eggs. Behind her are a wooden barn with hay in the loft and a little chicken coop, while a hen pecks at grain, a sheep peeks over and a pig sits smiling on the path. There’s plenty to spot, but the main figure stays nice and big.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best

Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.
Regular printer paper is fine for colored pencils; for paint, use thicker paper (65–110 lb).
Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
Where Do the Eggs Come From?
The eggs in the basket come from the chickens in the coop. A good laying hen lays an egg almost every day, and each one takes about a day to form. Whether an egg is brown or white depends on the breed – inside, they’re the same. Farmers collect eggs every day so they stay fresh and clean. And here’s a fun one: chickens don’t bathe in water, they take dust baths to keep their feathers clean.
What to Do with Your Finished Picture
Cut little eggs from white or tan paper and glue them into the basket to fill it up. Around Easter, decorate the eggs with patterns and give the picture away as a card.
Color Ideas for the Farmer and Her Farm
Real eggs are white or brown – everything around them can be bright.
Color the eggs light brown or creamy white – both are real.
Make the woven basket honey-colored or light brown.
Try a red scarf with white dots or a floral print.
For a fantasy twist, give the eggs stripes and polka dots.
