Directions
Download the Easter sheep template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Begin to make the sheep’s face by gluing the eyes in the middle of the head.
Next, take the nose and glue it to the top of the mouth. Finish off the face by gluing the cheeks on either side of the face, just below the eyes.
Place the sheep’s bangs at the top of the sheep’s head and glue them in place.
Take the completed sheep head and glue it to the top of the sheep’s body.
Make the Easter egg by decorating it with markers. Once you’re finished, glue the egg to the center of the sheep’s body.
Color in the bottom of the sheep’s hooves with the black marker.
Position the arms so they’re level with the Easter egg top and glue them slightly inward so it looks like the sheep is holding the egg.
Finish off the sheep by gluing the legs to the back and bottom of the body.
Now you’re done! This is a cute and quick craft that’s perfect for kids!
