Tips on Coloring in your Mule Printable

In the distance, you can see other mules as they pull carts and carry heavy loads. Mules played an important part in American history and they were vital to Westward expansion and agriculture. Our coloring page was printed in the early 1900s, and so this animal would have been familiar to most children. According to The American Mule Museum

By 1897, the number of mules had expanded to 2.2 million, worth $103 million. With the cotton boom, primarily in Texas, the number of mules grew to 4.1 million, worth $120 each.   One-fourth of all the mules were in Texas and the stockyards at Ft. Worth became the world center for buying and selling mules.

You can pretend our mule team is carting off curious finds from an expedition, a fortune in gold, an exotic and tasty harvest, or just the laundry for the week. Whatever your pleasure, you can’t go wrong with the steadfast and sturdy mule.
