What's In This Picture

As you look at the page, you will find the horse head centered in the barn door, looking out with a gentle expression. Perched right on top of its head is a cute cat who seems very happy to be there. Floating around them are several heart shapes and star shapes that give the scene a dreamlike quality. In the distance, a smiling sun hangs in the sky among soft clouds, looking down over rolling hills and stylized trees. The foreground is busy with nature, featuring small mushrooms, a variety of flowers, and patches of grass waiting for a splash of color.

Coloring Tips

You might start by choosing a warm brown or a soft grey for the horse, while the cat could be a bright ginger or a classic tabby pattern. The barn door looks great in traditional barn red or a rustic weathered wood tone. For the background, try using light greens for the hills and a bright yellow for the smiling sun to keep the mood cheerful. The small flowers and mushrooms in the foreground are perfect for testing out your brightest pinks, purples, and oranges. Using a light blue for the sky will help the white clouds and yellow sun pop against the page.

Did You Know?

Horses and cats have been friends on farms for hundreds of years. Many stable owners keep barn cats to help protect the horse's grain from mice. Because horses are social animals, they often form very strong bonds with these cats, sometimes even grooming them or letting them sleep on their backs for warmth.

Try This!

Try to find and count all the hidden stars and hearts scattered across the sky. Once the coloring is finished, you can write a short story about how this horse and cat first became best friends on the farm or give each animal a special name.
