To color the pigs, you can follow this instruction:

3. Craft ideas to do with the finished farm animals coloring pages
Have you finished coloring all farm animal coloring pages? So what to do with finished farm animals coloring pages? Why don’t do crafts and give them another life?
Let’s refer to some craft ideas VerbNow show below:
3.1. Farm Animal Puppets
The first idea is to make farm animal puppets. Kids can use them for a play with friends.
Teachers or parents can encourage them to be creative! Ask them to imagine and create their own story and tell.
What you need for this craft is popsicle sticks, paper straws or wooden skewers. Some other craft tools are scissor, glue stick/tape. You also can prepare googly eyes, felt, or cotton balls.
- Step 1: Let your child color the farm animals coloring pages (if not already done). Carefully cut around each animal image.
- Step 2: Decorate (Optional): Add googly eyes to make them pop. Or glue small cotton balls on sheep or cows for a 3D look.
- Step 3: Stick ‘Em On. Flip the animal over and tape or glue a popsicle stick to the back side.
- Step 4: Puppet Show Time. Now your animals are ready to come alive. Use them to act out songs or stories like Old MacDonald Had a Farm.
3.2. 3D Standing Farm Friends
Another idea is to make a standing farm friends. You only need to have empty toilet paper rolls. Obviously, must have scissor, tape/glue. For decoration, we recommend markers and stickers.
- Step 1: Color and Cut. Color your farm animals coloring pages and cut them out. Choose animals that face forward or side-view for best effect.
- Step 2: Wrap the Roll. Wrap each toilet paper roll with construction paper, or color it to match your animal’s body. For example, pink for a pig, white for a sheep.
- Step 3: Attach the Animal. Glue or tape the animal onto the front of the roll. Adjust positioning so it looks like the animal is “standing.”
- Step 4: Add Details. Use markers to draw hooves. Or add stickers, a name tag, or tiny ears/horns cut from extra paper.
- Step 5: Line them up on a table or create a shoebox barnyard. It is the place where your animals can live.
3.3. DIY Farm Animal Memory Game
The last craft idea is to make a farm animal memory game! Materials needed are cardstock/thick papers. As other crafts, prepare scissors and glue.
You need to print two copies of each farm animals coloring pages. I think mini versions work best.
- Step 1: Color both copies of each animal using the same color scheme to keep them matching.
- Step 2:Cut out each animal in an even square or circle shape. Aim for uniform size (around 3×3 inches).
- Step 3: Glue each animal square onto a piece of cardstock. It will make it sturdier and less see-through.
Now it’s time to shuffle and play by placing all the cards face down in rows. Now, you and friends take turns flipping over two cards to find matches. If they match, keep them but if not, flip them back and try again.
Bonus: Ask kids to name the animal and make its sound each time they flip a card!
