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.

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!

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

Cotton Ball Sheep Craft Supplies:

* Large White Cotton Balls
* School Glue
* Two Wooden Clothespins
* Paper Plate
* Black Colored Cardstock
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* Large Wiggle Eyes

* Cotton balls are hidden in everyone’s bathroom and are such a fun material for small children to use because they feel soft. If you don’t have a paper plate, you could draw/cut a circle out of cardstock to make this craft.

Directions:

* The first step is to cover the paper plate with 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.
* Once the plate is completely covered with cotton balls – glue on the ear, wiggle eye & tail.
* Then pin the 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 the sheep would stand up after we put the plate on the clothespins, but the plate was a little too top heavy. It didn’t bother Lil Man though. He still tried to walk his new sheep.
