Fun Facts About Pigs

Smarter Than You Might Think

Pigs are widely considered one of the most intelligent farm animals there is. They can learn simple tasks, remember routines, and even work out easy puzzles when given the chance. That cleverness is part of what makes them such fun animals to draw and color, since every sheet in this set gives them a bit of personality, whether they look curious, playful, or completely relaxed.

Why Pigs Roll in the Mud

There is an old saying about sweating like a pig, but pigs actually have very few sweat glands, so they cannot cool themselves off the way people do. Instead, they roll around in mud to bring their body temperature down and to protect their skin from sunburn and biting insects. That is why so many pig coloring pages, including several in this gallery, show pigs happily wallowing in a muddy pen.

From Wild Boars to Backyard Friends

Today’s farmyard pigs descend from wild boars and are among the animals people have kept the longest of all. They are omnivores, eating both plants and small creatures like insects and worms when left to forage on their own. Much of that foraging happens with the snout, an extremely sensitive and flexible tool that pigs use to dig through soil in search of food. Pigs also have a remarkable sense of smell, and trained pigs have historically been used to sniff out truffles hidden underground. Along the way, pigs have picked up a whole family of names: a baby pig is a piglet, a grown female is a sow, a grown male is a boar, and a group of pigs together is called a drove or a herd.

Printing and Coloring Tips

These pig coloring pages print best on plain white printer paper for a quick, everyday activity, or on a slightly heavier cardstock if you plan to use markers, paint, or want the finished page to hold up well for display. Standard printer settings work fine for most sheets, though selecting “fit to page” rather than “actual size” helps make sure the full A4 design lands correctly on the paper without any edges being cut off.

For toddlers and younger children, look for the simplest pages in the gallery, the ones with large shapes, thick outlines, and very little background detail, since these are easiest to color inside the lines with big crayons. School-age kids will enjoy the pages that show pigs in a pen, feeding, or playing, which have a bit more going on without becoming too complicated. The most detailed sheets, including the ones with patterns or special farmyard scenes, are best saved for older kids and adults who enjoy taking their time with finer details and shading.

Things to Make With Your Finished Pages

Once the coloring is done, there are plenty of simple ways to give these pig pages a second life beyond the paper they were printed on.

• Line up a few finished sheets to build a farmyard mural for a bedroom wall or classroom bulletin board.
• Trim a smaller pig design and glue it onto folded cardstock to make a homemade greeting card for a birthday or farm-themed party.
• String several finished pages together with twine and clothespins to make a cheerful banner for a farm party or family gathering.
• Punch holes along one edge and bind a stack of pages with ribbon or string to create a personal pig coloring book to keep or gift.
