Flora the Dandelion-Loving Cow Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Most cows loved the green grass. But Flora the cow loved the yellow flowers. Dandelions were her favorite snack.

She thought the long green grass was yummy. She thought the sweet white clover was delicious. But the sunny, bright dandelions were the best treat of all.

She would walk through the field, looking for little bursts of yellow. Munch, munch, munch. They tasted like sunshine and happiness. When she was done, she sometimes had a little dusting of yellow pollen on her nose, making her look like a queen with golden sprinkles.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is excellent for children aged 3-5. The repetitive, simple shapes of the dandelions are great practice for coloring small, contained areas. The happy, positive theme is engaging, and the clear distinction between the large cow and the smaller flowers helps with spatial awareness and focus.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Flora the cow loves eating dandelions! Isn't that silly and sweet? Let's color her snack time. You can make all the little dandelion flower outlines bright, sunny yellow. The big sun outline can be yellow and orange, too! What color will you make Flora? You can give her spots or make her all one color. Have fun making this field of flowers beautiful!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this page on sturdy white paper to make the bright colors pop. Using your printer's 'vivid' or 'photo' setting (while still printing in black and white) can make the outlines extra dark and easy for young children to see and color within.

Recommended Tools

Twistable colored pencils are great for this page, as they provide a sharp point for the dandelion outlines without needing a sharpener. For the big areas like the sky and the cow's body, broad-tip markers will fill the empty spaces quickly and brightly.
