Cotton ball sheep

Cotton ball sheep

Celebrate Easter or a farm theme with this sheep: a toilet paper tube and cotton balls. Preschool kids could also make this craft for a March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb theme.

What You Need: 1 toilet paper roll tube; bunch of cotton balls; glue; tape; scissors; 1 black pipe cleaner; 2 googly eyes; scrap of white cardstock; something black for the head (pom pom, crumbled-up tissue paper, etc. We used a piece of fleece fabric rolled into a ball.)

How to Make It: Cut pipe cleaner in half (adult job). Fold each pipe cleaner into a U shape and tape to bottom of toilet paper tube for legs. (These will probably not be sturdy enough for your sheep to stand on, so he’ll need to be resting, or use something stronger, such as painted dowels.) Use glue to cover top and sides of paper tube with cotton balls. Stuff black pompom, tissue paper or fabric into one end of tube for head. Cut two ear shapes from white cardstock and glue to head. Glue on googly eyes.

Handprint lamb

Handprint lamb

For Easter, a farm unit or anytime, try these handprint (traced hand) sheep. One version (that’s Mom’s big ‘ol hand on the left) uses cotton balls for the fleece while the other (there’s Alec’s cute little hand) uses popcorn.

What You Need: Black construction paper; glue; white crayon; googly eye (optional); pencil; scissors.

How to Make It: Trace around hand and cut out. Position so fingers face down (these are the legs and the thumb is the lamb head). Use glue to cover “palm” with cotton balls or popcorn. Use white crayon to draw in eye and mouth, or use googly eye.
