It really simplifies the process and makes crafting with your kids actually do-able, even when life is hectic.

Step 1: Cut Out the “Fluff”

Choose a piece of newspaper with lots of basic print and no big pictures or a lot of color…
OR pull out the comic page.
Cut a large cloud shape out of two layers of newspaper.

Step 2: Use the Sheep Craft Template

Print the sheep template
Then cut out the parts of your paper sheep craft from the black construction paper.

Step 3: Staple

Sandwich the sheep’s feet in between the 2 pieces of newspaper in place at the bottom.
Secure each in place with a staple.
Then staple around the rest of the pieces of newspaper, keep the staples close together.
Leave a section of the sheep body open so that it can be stuffed.

Step 4: Add Details to Your Sheep Crafts

Get our your black Sharpie marker and make swirlies on the body of your sheep craft.
This step is optional, but the fun is in the details.

Step 5: Start Putting It Together

Take the sheep craft template that you cut out back in step 2, and glue the ears onto the sheep’s head.
Then glue the head in place on the newspaper sheep body.

Step 6: Add to Your Sheep Art and Craft

Now let’s give the sheep a little personality.
Put his googly eyes in place.
Then use the black sharpie to add the nose and any other details that you want.

Step 7: Stuff Your Sheep Crafts

The final step is to add a little “fluffiness” to your sheep craft.
Tear strips of newspaper and crumple them up.
Then place them one at a time in the opening that you left in the sheep’s body.
*Don’t overstuff, and you can use a pencil to push the crumpled up pieces into all of the sections of your lamb craft.
When it is sufficiently stuffed, use your stapler to close up the opening.

Now that you know how to make this easy sheep craft, it is time to really make it your own. You can use it to tell almost any story…make it the lost sheep craft, or Mary had a little Lamb, or Little Bow Peep’s lamb…or whatever you want! Make lots of sheep crafts and have a tea party with them. The options are endless!

Happy Crafting!
