Why Kids Love This Spring Scene
Front and center, a child in a sun hat and overalls tucks a tulip into the soil with a little trowel. Dozens of tulips and daisies surround the flower bed, so there's room to try every color in the box. On the left, a sheep grazes beside a lamb; on the right, a hen keeps watch over her chicks next to a tiny coop. Behind them stand the barn with hay peeking out of the loft, a tall silo, a fence, and more sheep in the pasture.

What Happens on a Farm in Spring
Spring wakes the farm up: pastures turn green and fruit trees cover themselves in blossoms. Many lambs are born this time of year after growing inside their mom for about five months. A lamb knows its mother by her voice, even in a big flock. Chicks hatch after about three weeks of the hen sitting on her eggs. And in the garden, tulips pop up from bulbs that were planted back in the fall.
What to Do with Your Finished Page
Glue tiny tissue-paper blossoms onto the tree or stamp extra tulips with a cork. In a classroom, this page makes a great kickoff for planting your own cress or flower pots.
Color Ideas for a Spring Farm
Spring calls for soft, light colors with a few bright pops.
Mix red, yellow, pink, and purple across the flower bed.
Give the tree pale pink and white flowers among light green leaves.
Keep the sheep and lamb light with slightly darker faces and legs.
Just for fun: blend the sky from baby blue into lilac.
