How to Make a Paper Plate Sheep

Start by printing out the template and cutting out the pieces onto your colored craft paper. We cut the head and legs from black construction paper. The eyes from white and the cheeks and ears from pink.

Using your black marker, color the pupils of the eyes. Or grab you a set of big googly eyes instead.

Then start assembling the sheep’s face by attaching the eyes to the top part of the sheep’s head.

Then attach the inner ear pieces to the sheep’s ears.

And the pink cheek pieces onto each side of his face.

Next, grab your paper plate and cotton. Loosely pull the cotton apart slightly and cover the entire paper plate with the cotton.

Then glue the sheep’s finished head onto the top of the paper plate like shown below.

Finally, attach his two legs to the bottom part of the plate and you’re cute little sheep is finished!
