One, two, three little piggies! This number 3 coloring page shows a chunky numeral and three happy piglets lined up in a row. It’s a free printable that turns counting practice into play.
Why Kids Love These Three Piglets
The three piglets look almost exactly alike, with round heads, little floppy ears, big shiny eyes, oval snouts and a curly tail. Because they stand in such a tidy line, your child can tap each one and count out loud. Their bodies are big, simple shapes that work well with chunky crayons. Up top, the hollow 3 is ready to be traced first and colored in after.
🖨️ 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!
Learning with the Number 3 – Plus Some Pig Facts
Counting the piglets helps your child connect the numeral 3 with a group of three things. Try counting ears too: each pig has two, so how many are there in all? A baby pig is called a piglet, and its mom is a sow. Pigs can’t sweat, so they love rolling in mud – it cools them off and protects their skin from sunburn. And how do pigs talk? They oink and grunt with lots of different sounds!
What to Do with Your Three Piglets
Dab brown “mud puddles” onto the ground with a fingertip – it looks silly and fits perfectly. Or cut three circles from pink paper and let your child glue one onto each tummy while counting.
