Paper Plate Cotton Ball Sheep Craft

Cotton Ball Sheep Craft supplies needed.

To make our cotton ball paper plate sheep craft you will first need our free printable template. The remainder of the supplies include paper plates, black cardstock, cotton balls, gray paint, medium sized googly eyes, a white paint pen, scissors, and glue.

Cotton Ball Sheep Craft Step by Step Directions

Begin by painting a paper plate gray.

Paint the paper plate gray.

Glue googly eyes on oval shape.

Glue eyes on the oval shape, about ⅓ of the way down.

Draw a simple mouth with a white paint pen.

Also draw a small, simple mouth with the white paint pen.

Spread glue inside the paper plate.

Begin gluing cotton balls to the paper plate.

Begin gluing the cotton balls to the paper plate.

Continue gluing cotton balls until you feel your sheep is complete.

Continue until you feel your sheep is fluffy enough. On a side note, we thought our sheep was done at this point, but we later decided to add a few more cotton balls around the edge of the plate.

Glue head to cotton balls, towards the bottom of the plate.

Then, glue the oval face shape towards the bottom of the paper plate, on top of the cotton balls.
