    Make Easy Sheep Craft

    "I can't wait to make a project with you!"

    Step 1: Cut out the sheep's body and head.

    May need grown-up help
    First, draw a fluffy sheep body on your paper plate, or use the template to trace it. Cut out your sheep's body. Next, draw a sheep's head on the black construction paper, or use the template. Cut it out. Ask for help cutting if needed!

    Step 2: Wrap the sheep's body with white yarn.

    Start wrapping the white yarn all around the sheep body you just cut out. Go in many different directions to make it look fluffy. Keep wrapping until the body is as fluffy as you want it to be. You can tuck the ends of the yarn under the wrapped yarn to keep them in place. If it doesn't stay, you can use a small piece of tape to hold it.

    Step 3: Make the sheep's head.

    Pull apart a cotton ball to make it soft and fluffy. Put about half of the fluffy cotton onto the top of the sheep’s head. Use your glue to stick it down. Now, put the two googly eyes in place on the head. If they are not sticky, use a little glue. Use your black Sharpie marker to draw a nose and mouth, and maybe some ear folds. Then, glue the sheep's head onto its body. You can make it look up or down, however you like!

    Step 4: Make and attach the sheep's legs

    Take your four clothespins. Cover one side of each clothespin with the black patterned washi tape. Trim off any extra tape so it looks neat. Now, clip these four clothespins onto the bottom of the sheep's body to make its legs. Your sheep is ready to take a walk!
