From Old MacDonald and the “farmer in the dell” to Aunt Em in The Wizard of Oz and Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams, farmers have long captured our hearts. Why the fascination? For one, without farmers, our tables would be empty of delicious food. The term “farmer” typically designates someone tending to fields, orchards, vineyards, or gardens where food is cultivated. Farming dates back to 5000 to 4000 B.C.E., and with the recent rise in homesteading (hello, pet chickens!), our respect and appreciation for farming is at an all-time high. Teaching kids about farming is crucial for helping them understand the origins of their food. To celebrate the world of farms, we’ve curated a collection of delightful farm-themed coloring pages. Even if you can’t visit a farm in person, these free printables offer a fantastic at-home activity for you and your children. Who knows? After coloring, you might just feel inspired to start your own little homestead.
If you’re in the suburbs dreaming of farm life, we have a treasure trove of free printables just for you. After you finish coloring these charming farm animals, be sure to check out our goat coloring pages, pig coloring pages, cow coloring pages, horse coloring pages, and garden coloring pages!
