Time for some woolly fun! These printable sheep and lamb templates are perfect for the most classic farm craft of all — the cotton ball sheep. Colour them, cut them out, or download the PDF to print at full size. They're a favourite for farm animal units, spring and Easter crafts, and cosy classroom activities. Pick a sheep below and print or download it.
Make a cotton ball sheep
This is the one every child loves! Print a sheep template, then glue cotton balls (or white pom-poms) all over the body to make a soft, fluffy fleece. Use black paper for the face and legs, add two googly eyes, and you've got an adorable woolly sheep. It's a brilliant, slightly messy craft that's perfect for little hands — and they can do most of it themselves. Glue your sheep to a craft stick to turn it into a puppet for a farmyard show.
Down on the farm
Sheep are right at home in a farm animal project. Print a whole flock, then add some friends — a cow, a pig and a horse — for a complete farmyard scene. Explore even more in the full animals collection.
Spring lambs and a little learning
Fluffy lambs are a lovely sign of spring, which makes these a perfect Easter craft too. They're also handy for early learning: trace the outline for fine-motor practice, use them for the letter "S", or count a flock of sheep — just don't fall asleep!
