Minecraft Animals Perler Bead Patterns

Free, printable, Minecraft animal face patterns for fusible 5mm plastic beads.

My daughter wanted a Minecraft shirt her her birthday. She didn't tell us which one. Of all the shirts I saw the one I liked best was one with Minecraft animals all stacked up. Apparently I chose well because she later told me the animals are her favorite. Anyway... that shirt inspired this page (it's also ON the page near the bottom).

If you like them too here's a craft idea for you. I've made Perler Bead patterns for four animals in two different sizes each. You'll be able to make a medium or small Chicken, Cow, Pig, and/or Sheep. Colors and counts are also shown.

Perler Pegboards

Perler Beads Clear Square Pegboards 4 Pack

This is the set that I have. You can use a single piece or join them together in a larger square or rectangle. I like the clear boards best so you can place a pattern right underneath them.
