Sheep coloring pages are a lovely way to engage kids in activities that are both artistic and educational. I illustrated 32 different pages that show cute sheep in a variety of poses and environments, such as grazing in fields and jumping over fences.
Little ones can use their creativity to pick out colors for the soft wool on the sheep, the green grass around them, and the blue sky above. Children can learn about farm animals, where they live, and what role they play in farming while coloring the pages of sheep.
You can download all of the sheep pictures below for free in PDF format, making it easy to print them out for your projects.
All of these coloring pages are in the standard US letter size, but they also work great on A4 paper! Have fun!
10 Crafty Ideas To Do With Sheep Coloring Pages
Sheep coloring pages are a blast for both kids and grown-ups. They’re adorable, easy to fill with colors, and can be used in lots of different crafts. If you’ve got a rainy day or a party to host, these ideas will keep everyone entertained.
Let’s dive into some fun and simple craft ideas that anyone can do with these lovely coloring pages.
1. Framed Art
One fun way to use coloring pages of sheep is to make them into framed art. After coloring a sheep, cut it out and put it in a frame. This can be a nice decoration for a child’s room or even the living room. When my daughter colored her favorite sheep, we framed it and hung it on her wall. She was so proud of her artwork, and it added a personal touch to her space.
Different types of frames can change how the artwork looks. A rustic wooden frame can give it a farmhouse feel, while a sleek black frame can make it look more modern. You can also use washi tape to create a fun, colorful border around the picture. If you don’t have a frame, make one out of cardboard and decorate it with paint or markers. This way, you can match the colors of your sheep.
For a more interactive project, create a gallery wall with multiple coloring pages. Let your child color several pages and frame each one. Hang them together on a wall to create a mini art gallery. This is a great way to display their work and makes them feel like a real artist.
2. Greeting Cards
You can use coloring pages to make greeting cards. Just fold a piece of thick paper in half and stick your colored sheep on the front. Write a personal message inside. These cards are great for birthdays, holidays, or just to say hi. My son made a sheep card for his grandma, and she loved it so much that she put it on her fridge for months.
To make your cards extra special, add some glitter, stickers, or ribbons. You can also use fancy paper, like patterned or textured, to make your cards look different. If you want to make the sheep stand out, use foam tape to lift it off the card.
Another fun idea is to make a pop-up card. Color your sheep, cut it out, and fold it in half. Stick the bottom of the sheep inside the card so it pops up when opened. This adds a surprise and makes the card even more fun to get.
3. Wall Hangings
One fun idea is to make wall hangings. After coloring, cut out the sheep and stick it onto a bigger piece of construction paper or cardboard. Add decorations like glitter, stickers, or ribbons. Punch a hole at the top, thread a string through, and hang your artwork on the wall. My family made a whole bunch of sheep wall hangings, and now they brighten up our hallway.
Get creative with the background of your wall hanging. Use different colors of construction paper to create scenes, like a meadow or a barnyard. Add elements like clouds or flowers to make the picture more fun.
To make your wall hanging last longer, you can laminate the colored sheep before gluing it to the background. This will keep it safe from damage. You can also use fabric for the background instead of paper, which gives it a different feel and look.
4. Bookmarks
Did you know you can turn your coloring pages into cute bookmarks? Just cut out a long rectangle from your colored page, and if you can, cover it with a clear coating to make it stronger. Then, make a hole at the top and attach a ribbon or string. These bookmarks make reading even more fun and are super gifts for friends who love books. I always use the sheep bookmark my niece made for me, and it always makes me smile.
To make your bookmarks even more amazing, you can add your name or a favorite quote. You can also decorate the edges with markers or stickers. No laminator? No problem! Just cover the bookmark with clear contact paper to keep it safe.
Another idea is making corner bookmarks. Cut out a triangle from your sheep-colored page and fold it in half. Slide the triangle over the corner of a book page to mark your spot. These bookmarks are easy to make and perfect for keeping your place in your favorite book.
5. Puzzles
Creating puzzles from colored sheep pictures is a super fun thing to do! First, after coloring, stick the page onto a piece of cardboard and let it dry. Then, cut it up into puzzle pieces. You can make easy ones for little kids with big pieces or trickier ones for older kids with smaller pieces. My kids and I love doing this during family game nights—it’s always a blast!
You can change how hard the puzzle is by making the pieces different sizes and shapes. For younger ones, bigger and simpler pieces work best. But for older kids or grown-ups, smaller, more detailed pieces are more exciting.
To make the puzzle even more fun, you can add extra stuff like borders or different shapes. And if you want a real challenge, you can make it double-sided by sticking another colored page on the back before cutting it. That way, you’ve got two puzzles in one!
6. Gift Wrap and Tags
Coloring pages with sheep can make your gifts extra special. You can use them to wrap up small presents or even cut them out to make cute tags. Just tie them on with some string or ribbon, and your gifts will really stand out! Last Christmas, we wrapped our presents with these sheep pages, and everyone loved how fun and different it looked.
To make your wrapping even more awesome, you can add sparkly stuff like glitter or stickers. Or try using different types of paper, like tissue paper or fancy wrapping paper, to give your gifts an amazing vibe.
For a super personalized touch, you can match your gift wrap and tags. Just use the same coloring page for both! It’ll make your gifts look really put together and extra special.
7. Magnets
Making magnets from coloring pages with sheep is super easy. First, you color the sheep and then carefully cut them out. Next up, you cover them with something called laminate to make them strong. Stick a little magnet on the back, and boom! Your fridge gets a new friend. My fridge is like a sheep party with all the magnets my kids made. They make the kitchen so cheerful.
To jazz up your magnets even more, you can add fun stuff like sparkles, stickers, or pretty ribbons. You can also mix things up by making different shapes and sizes. Just cut out different parts of the coloring page to do that.
Suppose you don’t have a fancy laminator, no worries! You can cover your colored sheep with something clear called contact paper to keep them safe. Or, you can use something called magnetic sheets instead of glue. Just cut out the sheep and stick them right onto the sheet.
8. Party Decorations
Try using sheep coloring pages as decorations! You can cut them out and string them together to make banners. They’re also awesome for decorating tables. Last time, for my daughter’s birthday bash, we made a whole bunch of sheep decorations. We hung up a banner and scattered sheep cutouts all over the room. The kids went wild for it, and it was really easy and didn’t cost much.
To make your decorations extra special, you can jazz them up with glitter, stickers, or ribbons. You can also use different kinds of paper, like ones with patterns or textures, to give your decorations a totally unique vibe.
Want to add even more fun to your party? How about setting up a coloring station where kids can color their own sheep pages and make their own decorations? It’s a great way to keep them busy and let their creativity shine!
9. Luminarias
Sheep coloring pages can turn into cozy lights called luminarias. First, color the sheep and cut out shapes like stars or hearts.
Then, roll the page into a tube and tape it shut. Put a battery light inside. It’ll shine through the cutouts, making a warm and magical glow. We made these for a campout in the yard, and they made our night extra special.
To make your luminarias even fancier, add glitter, stickers, or ribbons. You can use different papers, like vellum or parchment, for a unique look.
10. Storybooks
Wouldn’t it be fun to make your own special storybooks? You can do it with coloring pages featuring cute sheep! Just color them in, then write a little story to go with each picture. Put all the pages together, and you’ve got a book! It’s super amazing because it lets you be super creative and tell your own stories. My kids totally love making these books, and we always read them together at bedtime.
Want to make your storybooks even more amazing? You can add sparkly stuff like glitter, cute stickers, or pretty ribbons.
You can also use different kinds of paper, like ones with patterns or nice textures, to make your books look extra special. It’s all about making your stories come to life!
