Personally, sheep rank pretty high on my list of favorite animals.

I grew up on a farm, raising bottle fed lambs. They are absolutely the cutest!

My dad still has sheep on his farm, and my kids LOVE to go feed the sheep and bottle feed the lambs as needed.

So, of course, my lamb loving kids were delighted by this cute sheep craft!

This craft is perfect for preschoolers as it promotes the development of fine motor skills and it’s easy.

Kids simply color the sheep and then glue cotton balls to the body of the sheep.

How to make a Cotton Ball Sheep Craft

First, print out the sheep template printable onto white paper.

Provide your child with crayons and show them where to color, leaving the large sheep body and the top of the head white (this is where the fluff will go!)

My girls colored the sheep face gray as well as the sheep’s legs, and ears.

They colored the sheep’s hooves black and the mouth pink.

Next, they added a little bit of liquid glue to the sheep’s head and body, followed by some cotton ball fluff.

I had them pull bits of cotton off of the cotton balls to glue to the page, both to save on the number of cotton balls used, but also because I like the way it looks.

Just a note: Little ones always need a bit of instruction when using glue, otherwise it becomes a puddle very quickly.

We use the phrase: Just a dab will do!

They repeated the process over and over (add glue, add cotton) until the sheep’s body was nice and fluffy.

My kids were so proud of their fluffy sheep crafts and how soft they were, they were ready to make a whole flock!

What a great Spring craft for kids! This adorable craft also works for the letter S or for a fun lamb Easter craft as well.

You might also find this easy sheep craft works well for Sunday School for the story of the lost sheep or a lesson about David being a shepherd.
