About This Coloring Page
The sheep is a fluffy cloud on four legs, the animal every child counts to fall asleep, and the page draws it the way they picture it: a round woolly sheep standing in a meadow, one big flower beside it, a round sun with long rays above and soft hills behind.
The woolly body is one big cloud shape for broad strokes, the face is a small oval to do carefully, and the little curls drawn in the wool are the detail for whoever wants to keep going. The flower is a circle of petals and the sun is a circle with rays to count.
Ask what the sheep says and what its wool is for. Then count the sun's rays together, and the page becomes the animal they look for in every field.

How to Use This Coloring Page
- Fill the wool first. One big cloud shape, one colour, or leave it white and colour the face and legs instead.
- Face and legs next. The small oval face and four short legs, a darker colour so they stand out.
- Flower and sun last. Petals round the middle, rays round the sun. Count the rays before colouring them.
