Sheep Coloring Pages
Make free printable sheep coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: sheep in a meadow, ewe and lamb, a little flock of sheep, sheep by a fence, sheep with daisies, sleepy sheep in the grass, sheep jumping a fence, sheep under a tree, sheep after shearing, sheep on a hill, sheep and a butterfly, two sheep friends, big simple sheep. Every sheep is drawn with the marks Animal Diversity Web gives for the domestic sheep: a narrow snout, feet with two main toes, and a body about one and a half times as long as the sheep is tall at the shoulder. One sheep has just been shorn, because domestic sheep come with or without wool. They are our own sheep, not any named, film, book, show or cartoon sheep and not any mascot, and nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a meadow scene with a little flock by a fence under clouds and a sun, a fold-in-half card, or a sheep mandala with small sheep round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Plain sheep to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 sheep with no eye, wool curls or snout line, so children can draw their own; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Page
Runs in your browser with our own code; names and words never leave your device, and nothing is saved. Every picture is our own drawing, black lines on white, with no film, book or cartoon characters, mascots, brands or logos. The sheep pictures are our own drawings of a woolly sheep with a narrow snout and two-toed hooves: in a meadow, a ewe and lamb, a little flock, by a fence, with daisies, sleepy in the grass, jumping a fence, under a tree, after shearing, on a hill, with a butterfly, two friends and a big simple sheep. They are not any named, film, book, show or cartoon sheep and not any mascot. Nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. The plain sheep have no eye, wool curls or snout line, for drawing your own. The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed. The lettering fonts keep their own open licenses.

Shapes are the closed outlines the tool draws for each picture at each level, counted by the tool. Simple keeps the sheep (wool, head and wool cap, ear, tail, legs and two-toed hooves, closed eye) and the field, fence, tree or hill; Medium and Detailed add the smaller lines, such as the wool curls, the snout line, the grass and the bark.
Plain sheep to decorate
| Sheep per page | Each fits (US Letter) | Each fits (A4) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 186 mm square | 181 mm square |
| 2 | 120 mm square | 129 mm square |
| 4 | 89 mm square | 86 mm square |
| 6 | 77 mm square | 83 mm square |
Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each plain sheep has no eye, wool curls or snout line (17 shapes: wool body, head, wool cap, ear, tail and four legs on two-toed hooves), so the face and the wool are up to you.
Simple to detailed lines
| Lines | Outlines | Small details | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1.8 mm | 1.4 mm | Toddlers, chunky crayons, big markers |
| Medium | 1.1 mm | 0.8 mm | Most children, colored pencils |
| Detailed | 0.75 mm | 0.5 mm | Older children and adults, fine pens and pencils |
Line widths are measured at print size. The thinnest line on any page is 0.5 mm, so every shape stays open to color.

Are these sheep coloring pages free?
Yes. Every page is free to make, download and print, with no sign-up and no watermark. All the pictures are our own drawings.
Which sheep pictures are there?
13: sheep in a meadow, ewe and lamb, a little flock of sheep, sheep by a fence, sheep with daisies, sleepy sheep in the grass, sheep jumping a fence, sheep under a tree, sheep after shearing, sheep on a hill, sheep and a butterfly, two sheep friends, big simple sheep. On top of those there is a meadow scene, plain sheep to decorate, a mandala, a lettering poster and name pages.
Why do the sheep have that shape?
Animal Diversity Web describes the domestic sheep with a narrow snout, glands between the two main toes of each foot, a head and body 1,200 to 1,800 mm long and a shoulder height of 650 to 1,270 mm. Every standing sheep here has a narrow snout, two toes on each hoof and a body in that range of length to height.
Why does one sheep have no wool?
Animal Diversity Web notes that breeding has given domestic sheep with or without wool, and wool sheep are shorn. Sheep after shearing shows the smooth body with the wool lying on the grass.
Why are there so many sheep together?
Animal Diversity Web notes that sheep have a strong flocking instinct and move over an area in groups rather than one by one, so the flock, the ewe and lamb and the two friends keep them together.
Which colors should I use?
Any. Animal Diversity Web gives sheep colors from milky white to dark brown and black, so white, cream, grey, brown or black wool all fit, with a green field, a blue sky and yellow daisies.
Which sheep pages suit toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose Simple lines: big shapes with thick outlines. The sleepy sheep in the grass and the big simple sheep have the fewest shapes, as the table shows.
Can I make a page for every child in my class?
Yes. Choose Class set, pick a picture and paste the names, one per line, up to 40. Each child gets the same picture with their own name in hollow letters at the top, all in one PDF.
Are there sheep coloring pages for adults?
Yes. Choose Sheep mandala with Detailed lines: each pattern number gives a different symmetric design. Choose 16 repeats for the most intricate pattern.
Can I sell what I make with these pages?
Yes. The pictures are our own drawings, and the note under the tool sets out how you may use them, including for things you sell.
How do I print the coloring pages?
Download the PDF and print it on plain paper. Choose 100% or Actual size to keep the margins and sizes as drawn; Fit to page also works if your printer cuts off the edges.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Names and words are not sent anywhere, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
