How on earth did he get up there? This goat on the roof coloring page stars a proud billy goat who has found the best view on the whole farm. Print this free page and color the silly climbing goat and his barn.
Why Kids Love This Rooftop Goat
Up top stands a scruffy billy goat with big curled horns and a chin beard, right beside a rooster weather vane with an arrow. The roof is made of lots of separate shingles, a puff of smoke drifts from the chimney, and hay sits in the round window. Down below there are two wooden doors with latches and tiny flowers in the grass. All those different shapes keep the page interesting without overwhelming kids.

Goats Are Amazing Climbers
Goats are true climbing champs. They hop onto rocks, walls and woodpiles, and some even climb trees to reach fresh leaves. Their split hooves have a soft, grippy underside that helps them hold on. From up high they get a great view β with their rectangular pupils, goats can see almost all the way around without turning their heads. A male goat like the one in this picture is called a billy goat or buck.
What to Do with Your Finished Rooftop Goat
Make up a story together: why did the goat climb onto the roof β to watch the sunrise or to visit the rooster? You can also turn a shoebox into a barn and perch the cut-out goat right on top.
