This fun sheep craft for kids is perfect for springtime celebrating! It’s easy to make and requires very few supplies to bring to life.
Craft Supplies:
- White Cotton Balls
- School Glue
- Wooden Clothespins
- Black Sharpie Markers
- Paper Plate
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- Large Googly Eyes
Instructions:
- 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 sheep’s face, 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!
