About this page

The cow is mid leap over a crescent moon, hooves out and a bell swinging from her collar. Below, a striped cat plays the fiddle in a neat bow tie, and a dish and a spoon race off across the page on their own little legs. The moon has a face of its own, eyes closed in a contented smile. Stars and puffy clouds fill the rest of the sky.

Hey Diddle Diddle is one of the oldest nursery rhymes still sung at bedtime, and this printable moon coloring page puts the whole cast in one scene. If your kid knows the words, they can sing along while they color. Other pages in the nursery rhyme lineup make good follow ups.

We rate this one medium and good for ages 7 and up. Plan for about half an hour to an hour. The cow's spots and the cat's stripes have plenty of small areas, so colored pencils or markers beat chunky crayons here. The fiddle strings are the fiddliest part, no pun intended.

Start with the three biggest shapes: the cow's body, the moon, and the cat. Fill those in first, then move to the dish, the spoon, and the clouds. Finish with the stars and the fiddle strings, when your hand is steadiest. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
