If your preschooler lights up at the sound of “Old MacDonald,” you’re in for a treat!

Plus, it’s full of adorable farm animals that kids love.
Whether you’re in a classroom, homeschool, or just need a fun afternoon activity, this printable poster turns simple coloring into a mini math lesson.
Let’s walk through how to get this poster printed, prepped, and ready for fun!
What’s Included in the Preschool Farm Poster
This farm-themed printable poster includes:
- 4 pages that make up one large poster
- Farm animal illustrations to count and color
- Number lines for writing how many of each animal appear
The finished product becomes a colorful wall display or portfolio piece that shows off your child’s learning in action!
How to Set Up the Farm Poster
Follow these easy steps to help your students (or kids!) complete the activity with minimal frustration and maximum farmyard fun.
Step 1: Print the Poster
Each full-size poster is made up of four pages. Make sure you print all 4 pages per student or per group. It prints beautifully in black and white and is designed for 8.5 x 11” paper.
Tip: Use a slightly thicker paper or cardstock if you plan to hang the posters up or want to prevent marker bleed-through.
Step 2: Cut and Arrange
Now it’s time to turn those four sheets into one big scene!
- Carefully cut around the edges of each page.
- Look for glue tabs and number labels on each page to help with assembly.
- Arrange them like this:
Page 1 and Page 2 go on the top
Page 3 and Page 4 go on the bottom
Note: Depending on your printer, you might need to trim more from one side to get the images to align perfectly.
Step 3: Glue It Together
Once everything is lined up correctly:
- Use the glue tabs provided to overlap the edges and glue the pieces together.
- Press down firmly or use a glue stick to keep things from wrinkling.
- Lay the poster flat to dry before coloring.
Optional: Tape the back for extra durability or mount the whole thing to construction paper for a framed look.
Step 4: Color and Complete
Time for the fun part!
- Have students count each type of farm animal and write the number on the provided line next to that animal.
- Then, let them loose with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
- Encourage creativity — pink cows? Go for it. Blue chickens? Why not!
Learning bonus: This activity sneaks in number sense, one-to-one correspondence, and handwriting practice — all while your child thinks they’re just coloring.
