What your child practises
- Colours the large curved body and rocker base while staying mostly inside thick outlines
- Tells apart smaller enclosed shapes, such as the saddle and mane scallops, from the large open body
- Uses more than one colour for the mane, saddle and leg cuffs instead of one flat colour
- Names parts of a toy horse (mane, tail, saddle, rocker) while colouring them
- Completes a full picture in one sitting without small fiddly details slowing them down
About this worksheet
This page shows a classic nursery rocking horse from the side, standing still on its curved wooden rocker. It has a big round nose, one wide friendly eye and a small smile, with a scalloped mane running down its neck and a curling tail swept out behind. A saddle sits on its back, outlined with a double border, and each of its four legs wears a little cuff band near the hoof, like a toy sock. It is drawn as a toy rather than a real animal, so every part is smooth and rounded, right down to the small peg near its head.
The body, saddle and rocker are all big, closed shapes, which makes this a good sheet for a child who is still learning to keep colour inside the lines rather than one who wants a challenge. The mane's scallops and the four leg cuffs give a bit of variety for a child who likes switching colours often, while the huge middle of the body and the long rocker underneath can be filled in one steady sweep. It is also an easy picture to talk about while colouring: what colour saddle to choose, whether the horse looks happy, where it might rock off to.
This sits on the easier end of the Toys & Games sheets, with thick outlines and no fiddly background detail. It suits toddlers and younger preschoolers who want a satisfying, recognisable toy to colour without small enclosed spaces to fight with, and it works just as well as a first colouring page as it does a quick one before nap time.
How to use this sheet
Let your child start with the big body first, since it is the easiest shape to fill without going over the lines. Save the small mane scallops and saddle border for last, and do not worry if colour spills over there.
