One, two, three … how many stars can you count? This sheep counting stars coloring page is just right for winding down before bed. Grab the free printable and color the little sheep under its starry sky.
Why Kids Love This Starry Sheep
The sheep stands on a round, grassy hilltop with a few tufts of grass, smiling with big eyes. Stars of different shapes and sizes twinkle all around it, along with a few tiny circles. The wool is one big, soft shape, and every star is its own little space. Kids can count the stars as they color them.

Fun Facts About Sheep at Night
Sheep feel safest in their flock, so they stay close together at night too. Their sideways pupils let them see almost all the way around without turning their heads. During the day they graze for hours and chew their cud, which means they chew their food a second time later on. And “counting sheep” is an old trick to help you fall asleep!
What to Do with Your Finished Sheep
Stick glitter or glow-in-the-dark stars onto the colored stars so the page sparkles in the bedroom. Count the stars together as part of your bedtime routine.
