How to use this worksheet
- Trace the dashed sheep and notice how the bumps of the fleece are all about the same size, and how the head sits at the right side of the body.
- In the free half, draw the fleece first and close it, then add the head and the legs; keep each sheep as tall as the last traced one and leave room between them.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing a bumpy fleece freehand is harder than it looks: the bumps must stay even and the line must meet itself at the end. Repeating that at the same size along the row trains rhythm and size control, while the gaps between the sheep practice spacing.
Play idea
Through the gate: your child draws a fence under each finished row with a gate at the end, then walks the flock through it with a finger, one sheep at a time.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where should the fleece start in the free half?
On the left side of the body, like the dark dot on the model; going around from there leaves the right side free for the head.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the traced sheep set the size of the bumpy fleece, and the free half is the first real try at drawing a sheep alone.
What if the freehand sheep get bigger and bigger?
Usually the bumps grow; ask your child to make them as small as the ones on the traced sheep, and the fleece shrinks back to the right size.
