Cow Jumping Over the Moon
A playful cartoon cow leaps across a starry night sky past a big crescent moon — the cow jumping over the moon coloring page.
Bring a favorite nursery rhyme to life with this playful page. A grinning cartoon cow leaps right across the night sky, legs stretched wide, sailing past a big crescent moon with stars scattered all around. The bold outlines and open shapes make it friendly for younger artists, while the starry background gives older kids lots of little spaces to fill. This is the cow from "Hey Diddle Diddle," the silly old rhyme where the cow jumps over the moon and the dish runs away with the spoon. Because it is a make-believe night scene, you can go bold: a deep blue or purple sky, a glowing yellow moon, and a cow in any color you dream up. Print it on US Letter or A4 and try coloring the sky last so the stars and moon stay bright against the night.
Coloring Tips
- Dark sky, bright moon — a deep blue or purple sky makes a pale yellow moon and white stars really shine.
- Stars stay light — color around the little stars and leave them white or pale yellow so they sparkle.
- Go imaginary — this is a dream scene, so a pink or rainbow cow fits the silly rhyme perfectly.
