Why Kids Love This Summer Farm
A big barn with a rooster weather vane stands in the middle, with a silo and a farmhouse with a porch and chimney right behind it. A winding path leads from the cobblestone yard down to a cow and her calf and a pig watching her piglets roll in a mud puddle. On the right, a rooster, hen, and chicks scurry near their coop while four sheep graze below. Two ducks paddle on the pond to the left, and apple trees full of fruit dot the whole scene.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best
Click “Print” on the right, or download the image or PDF.
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!
What Happens on a Farm in Summer
Summer is a busy time: farmers cut grass and let it dry into hay that the animals eat all winter. Pigs can't sweat, so they love rolling in mud – it cools them down and protects them from sunburn. Most sheep get a haircut once a year because their wool never stops growing. On warm days, chickens take a dust bath instead of a water bath. And the rooster weather vane on top of the barn shows which way the wind is blowing.
What to Do with Your Finished Page
Count every animal in the picture and write the total in the corner – did you spot both ducks in the pond? Teachers can use the page as a prompt for a short story about a summer day on the farm.
