Cotton Ball Sheep Craft Supplies:

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

Step 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!
• 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!
