Why Kids Love This Fluffy Sheep

The sheep is mostly one big, cloud-like patch of wool with a few curls inside. Its round, friendly face has big shiny eyes and two floppy ears. Four short legs stand on a little patch of grass with a few blades. Thick lines and very few details make it ideal for kids just starting out.

Fun Facts About Sheep

A sheep’s wool never stops growing. That’s why most sheep get sheared once a year – it doesn’t hurt, just like a haircut. Sheep eat grass, herbs and hay and chew their cud. They love living in a flock, because staying together makes them feel safe. And of course, they say “baa”!

What to Do with Your Finished Sheep

Glue cotton balls onto the wool to make a sheep you can actually touch. Little ones can say “baa” and sing a sheep song while they work.

Color Ideas for Your Fluffy Sheep

Even a white sheep can be colorful.

🤍 Creamy white
Leave the wool white or color it a soft cream.
🤎 Brown face
The face and legs can be light or dark brown.
🌿 Green grass
Make the patch of grass bright and fresh.
🩷 Cotton candy
For a dream sheep, try pink or baby blue wool.
💡 Coloring Tip: White wool looks extra fluffy if you just trace the edges of the curls with light gray or pale blue and leave the middle white.
