About this activity

Six small frames each show part of a farm animal: a cow, a pig, a sheep, a horse, a chicken and a goat. A line down the middle marks where the drawing stops, and the empty space is waiting for your child’s pencil. In a few frames a leg, a tail or some spots are already on the second side, giving a clue about where the missing parts belong.

Skills this page builds

• Spatial reasoningImagining the missing half of a cow or a goat means picturing the whole animal and its proportions.
• Looking and comparingChildren compare the finished half with their own lines, noticing size, shape and position.
• Animal knowledgeAdding tails, legs and ears prompts children to recall what farm animals really look like.

How to do this activity

1. Print the page and pick a pencil. Drawing lightly at first leaves room for an eraser.
2. Choose one animal and ask your child to name it and say which parts are missing: legs, a tail, ears or part of the body.
3. Draw the missing half in the empty space, matching the size and position of the part that is already drawn.
4. Repeat for the other animals, then color them. Add a barn, grass or a sun on the back of the page if you like.

Tips for parents and teachers

• Start with the horse or the pig. Part of the second side is already there as a guide.
• If your child says “I can’t draw it”, ask them to find the part on the finished side and copy where it ends.
• Accept wobbly results. The goal is to think about the whole animal, not to make a perfect copy.
• Make the animal sound as each one is finished.
