A mother cow and her calf, the small one standing tucked in front of the big one. Children like coloring the two with matching patches, the same spots in a bigger and a smaller size. It is a gentle page for a farm visit or a story about families, and the outlines are thick enough for felt tips. This cow and calf drawing sits nicely beside the kawaii cow.
