Baa! Our printable sheep mask is a fluffy farmyard favourite that works for absolutely everything - from nativity plays to the Chinese zodiac to counting before bed! With that woolly white face and gentle expression, the sheep is one of the most universally recognised farm animals in the world. Perfect for farm animal school plays, food and farming classroom projects, World Book Day, birthday parties, and the fluffiest imaginative play imaginable.

The sheep appears in more curriculum topics than almost any other animal - nativity plays, farming, wool and textiles, nursery rhymes, the Chinese zodiac and fairy tales all need a sheep at some point. Few masks earn their keep quite as comprehensively. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Sheep!

Sheep have excellent memories for faces - they can recognise up to 50 other sheep faces and remember them for over two years, and can also recognise human faces and recall whether those humans were kind or threatening.
They have rectangular pupils - horizontal slits that give them a panoramic field of vision of around 320 degrees without turning their head, making it very difficult for predators to sneak up on them.
Sheep can self-medicate - when ill or deficient in certain minerals, they will actively seek out and eat specific plants that contain the compounds they need, demonstrating a form of instinctive nutritional wisdom.
A sheep's wool never stops growing - without annual shearing, it would continue growing indefinitely. The world record was set by a merino sheep called Chris who was found in Australia having missed shearing for five years, carrying 41kg of wool.
Sheep show emotions through their facial expressions - research has shown they display positive emotions (such as when reunited with a friend) by positioning their ears forward and tilting their head, providing a window into their inner emotional life.
