Instructions
-
After gathering supplies, invite kids to cut out a small black heart for the lamb’s nose.
-
Show kids how to fold the white and pink paper in half, then draw a long ear shape for them to cut out. When they are finished cutting, they should have 4 pieces to work with. Pick up the 2 pink pieces and trim them so they are slightly smaller than the white pieces.
-
Glue the pink pieces onto the white pieces to make ears for the lamb. Glue the ears to the back of the paper plate.
-
Invite kids to glue 2 large wiggly eyes to their paper plate. If they wish, they may draw a mouth on their lamb.
-
Next, kids will need to gently pull apart the cotton balls and glue them onto the paper plate. White school glue is best for this task!
-
When the lambs are finished, kids may glue a loop of ribbon to the back so they can hang them, or glue a large craft stick to the back to use as a puppet. Simple, cute, and fun!
