Good Shepherd With a Woolly Sheep Across His Shoulders

A bearded man with long, parted hair looks straight ahead with a gentle smile while carrying a woolly sheep across the back of his shoulders. He wears a simple robe with a round neckline and wide, loose sleeves. Each of his hands holds one of the sheep's legs, so the animal's body drapes behind his neck and its head with a small eye and long snout rests on the right side of the page. The wool on the left side is drawn in rough, jagged strokes, while the sheep's face is smoother. This page works well for Sunday school lessons on the parable of the lost sheep. Try soft cream or light gray crayons for the wool and a contrasting color for the robe. Then ask kids why the shepherd might be smiling. The large open areas on the robe are easy for younger children to fill in, and a free printable like this is handy for a quick class activity.
