Paper Plate & Cotton Ball Sheep {Kid Craft}

This fun sheep craft for kids is perfect for springtime celebrating! It’s easy to make and requires very few supplies.

Craft Supplies:

  • 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 Cardstock Paper
  • Kid Friendly Scissors
  • Large Googly Eyes {two per sheep craft}

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!
