Paper Plate & Cotton Ball Sheep – Spring Kid Craft Idea

Today’s cotton ball sheep craft tutorial is the simplest craft ever! Like EVER! {In fact all the kid crafts ideas from Glued To My Crafts are!}

It’s perfect for younger and older children alike to recreate. Heck – even adults will LOVE making their own cotton ball covered sheep creations!

Although it’s not really “summery” you could still grab a book from the library that would go along with the “sheep” theme and really make it into an afternoon of fun!

Plus the supplies? Again – easy as it yet. Find all the craft details below in the quick tutorial from us!

Happy crafting, my friends! If you don’t mind – I would LOVE to see pictures of your child’s finished paper plate and cotton ball sheep on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

MORE FUN KIDS CRAFT IDEAS ON GLUED TO MY CRAFTS: Clothespin Unicorn Kid Craft Idea and Paper Plate Smores – Kid Craft

Cotton Ball Sheep Craft Supplies:

* Large White Cotton Balls {a good handful per sheep craft}
* School Glue
* Two Wooden Clothespins
* Black Sharpie Markers
* Large or Small Paper Plate {one per sheep craft}
* Black Colored Cardstock
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* Large Wiggle Eyes {two per sheep craft}

Directions:

* The first step is to cover the paper plate with a thick layer of school glue. Make sure to REALLY cover it so the cotton balls stick good.
* Now ask your child to add the cotton balls on the plate until it’s completely covered. You can add more glue if they need it. BTW – instead of covering the plate with glue, you could also put the glue in a bowl and ask your child to dip each cotton ball in the glue, then attach to the plate.
* While your child is attaching their cotton balls, you can cut out your sheep’s ear & tail out of the black cardstock.
* At this point in time you should also take the black Sharpie marker and “paint” the two wooden clothespins for the sheep’s legs.
* Once the plate is completely covered with cotton balls – glue on the ear, wiggle eye & tail.
* Then pin the colored clothespins towards the bottom of the plate, to give it the look that the sheep has legs.
* And that’s it! Now display it proudly for all to see!
* I had high hopes that our finished cotton ball sheep would stand up nicely afterwards but it didn’t. You may have better luck than us!
