Children's Colouring Sheets

This colouring sheet pack is all about getting to know fell sheep and their world while having fun!

  • Start with a dot-to-dot of a horned sheep standing proud on the fells – can you complete the outline and bring it to life?
  • Next, design your own smit marks on a woolly sheep using bright colours and bold shapes, just like the real marks used by Cumbrian shepherds to tell their flocks apart.
  • Then, imagine and draw your own hefted sheep family, showing where they live on the fell and what they might see through the seasons.

These activities are inspired by real flocks and real farmers to help youngsters learn while getting creative! Great for schools, long walks, rainy days, or any time you want to get closer to the land.
