If there's a rock, a fence or a fallen tree on the farm, a goat will be standing on top of it before long. Our 55 goat coloring pages are full of these happy climbers, and each one is a free printable you can download as a PDF in US Letter or A4.
Toddlers and preschoolers can start with the simple pages, like a kid goat leaping into the air or a goat perched on a big round rock, all drawn with extra-thick outlines for small hands. Older kids will find busier scenes to color, from goats balancing in the branches of argan trees to wild ibex climbing a steep dam wall.
There are lots of breeds to meet too, including tiny pygmy goats, Nubians with long droopy ears and Angora goats covered in curly locks. If your child enjoys these, take a look at our Sheep coloring pages and Cow coloring pages too.
All of these crafts use things you can find around the house, like a cardboard box, a paper bag and some leftover yarn. They're quick to set up and easy to do at the kitchen table or in class.
Build a goat climbing mountain
Goats love to climb, so give them a mountain of their own. Color the goat standing on top of a rock and the kid goat on the tree stump, then stand them on a heap of boxes.
Kids can move the goats from ledge to ledge as they play.
You'll need:
A few small boxes of different sizes
Gray or brown paper
Tape and glue
Colored goat cut-outs
Clothespins
How to do it:
Stack and tape the boxes into a lumpy mountain shape.
Cover it in crumpled paper so it looks like rock.
Color and cut out several goats.
Clip each goat to a clothespin so it stands up on the ledges.
Put the smallest kid goat right at the very top.
Make a goats-on-the-roof barn
Some buildings have grass growing on their roofs, and goats happily climb up to eat it. Use the goats grazing on a grassy roof as your guide and build your own version.
It always gets a laugh from younger kids.
You'll need:
A small cardboard box
A folded piece of cardboard for the roof
Green paper or tissue paper
Glue and scissors
Small colored goat cut-outs
How to do it:
Draw a door and windows on the box.
Glue the folded cardboard on top to make a sloping roof.
Snip fringes into the green paper and glue it over the roof like grass.
Glue two or three goats on top, munching away.
Add a little ramp so the goats can climb up.
Make a bearded billy goat puppet
A paper bag makes a great goat puppet, and the billy goat with the long beard shows just what to aim for. A bit of yarn makes the beard really swing.
Puppet goats can bleat and butt heads with each other.
You'll need:
The billy goat page
A paper lunch bag
Yarn
Glue and scissors
How to do it:
Color the billy goat's head and cut it out.
Glue the head onto the flap at the bottom of the paper bag.
Glue a bunch of short yarn pieces under the chin for a beard.
Slip your hand inside and move the flap to make the goat talk.
Make a pair and put on a little farmyard show.
Play a mountain goat climbing game
Use the mountain goats on the rocky cliffs as the inspiration for a simple board game. Players race their goats up the ledges to reach the top first.
It's great for counting and taking turns.
You'll need:
A large sheet of paper
Markers
A die
Small colored goat cut-outs as playing pieces
How to do it:
Draw a mountain with a zigzag path of 20 ledges from the bottom to the top.
Add a few rockfall spaces that send a goat back two ledges.
Give each player a goat and place them at the bottom.
Take turns rolling the die and climbing that many ledges.
The first goat to reach the top gets to bleat the loudest.
Make a curly Angora goat collage
Angora goats grow long, curly hair called mohair. The Angora goat page is perfect for adding real curls with yarn.
It's a lovely texture project for small fingers.
You'll need:
The Angora goat page
Soft yarn
A pencil
White glue
How to do it:
Color the face, horns and legs.
Wrap short pieces of yarn around a pencil and slide them off to make curls.
Spread glue over the body a little at a time.
Press the yarn curls onto the glue until the goat is covered.
Try two colors of yarn for an extra fluffy look.
In parts of Morocco, goats climb right up into argan trees to eat the leaves and fruit. They can balance on surprisingly thin branches, which is why you'll sometimes see a whole tree full of goats.
