There are many different ways of making plural nouns in German, as in English. Examples:

Color - die Farbe - die Farben (words ending in -e simply have -n added)

Child - das Kind - die Kinder (a common way of making a plural is adding -er.)

Brother - der Bruder - die Brüder (adding an umlaut makes a plural.)

House - das Haus - die Häuser (combination of umlaut and -er)

Woman - die Frau - die Frauen (addition of suffix -en)

Ship - das Schiff - die Schiffe (addition of suffix -e)

Cow - die Kuh - die Kühe (combination of umlaut and -e)

Car - das Auto - die Autos (foreign words generally have an -s added)

Girl - das Mädchen - die Mädchen (Words ending in the diminuitive -chen do not change in the plural forms)
