Thirsty Sheep Drinking at a Pond with Lily Pads
Coloring guide
At the edge of a pond, a fluffy little lamb bends low for a sip, its nose touching the water and sending soft ripples across the surface. It has a curly, cloud-like coat, floppy ears, big round eyes and a poofy tail. Tall cattails and long grass blades rise on both sides, with a few rounded rocks and small grass tufts along the bank. Two lily pads with open water lily flowers float up front, and a bush is drawn in the background. The wool texture gives kids lots of curly shapes to fill in. Cream or light gray for the lamb, deep greens for the grass and lily pads, and pale pink for the flowers would look lovely. It's a free printable, so print a few extra copies to keep handy.
