Slurp, slurp – somebody's hungry! This calf coloring page shows a happy little calf sipping from a bottle. Print this free page and let your youngest artist start coloring this baby cow coloring page right away.
Why Toddlers Love This Calf
The calf is drawn big with thick outlines, so small hands can stay inside the lines. Large patches on its coat make perfect little areas to fill one at a time. A hand in a sleeve holds the bottle from the right, which gets kids wondering who's doing the feeding. There's no busy background, so the page stays calm and simple.

Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.

Fun Facts About Calves
A baby cow is called a calf. It grows inside its mom for about nine months – about as long as a human baby. Most of the time a cow has just one calf; twins are rare. A cow's milk is really meant for her calf. On some farms, calves drink their milk from a bucket with a nipple or from a bottle.
What to Do with Your Finished Calf
Color the sleeve to match your own shirt – now you're the one feeding the calf! At circle time, kids can talk about what different baby animals drink.
