Sheep are the perfect spring time animal and this sheep card craft for kids is a fun paper craft to make at home or at school!

We love the cute expression on this little sheep’s face and the fact that it’s a card makes it even better.

You can make this simple sheep craft for Easter, Mother’s Day or whenever you feel like it.

And, if you’re like us, you’ll want to write a silly pun inside it, like “Ewe are the best”!

Easy Sheep Craft Idea

We can’t get enough of paper crafting, mainly because it’s easy, cheap and quick to make.

All those things make it perfect for doing with kiddos. Below we have all the supplies you need to make this sheep craft.

Supplies

• Colored card stock (in pink and tan)
• White card stock
• Markers (black and pink)
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Sheep template (download form located at the end of the page)

Directions

Download the free sheep template, print and cut out the pieces.

Use the black marker to color the bottom of the sheep’s feet and make them look like hooves.

Place the sheep’s completed legs on the bottom of the white body, positioning them like in the picture below. Glue in place.

Place a small fluff on the top of each leg and glue down.

Glue the pink nose towards the bottom of the face. Cut off the excess.

Use the pink marker to draw on two small nose holes and the mouth.

Take the pink marker and draw in the inner ears, like in the picture.

Place one ear on each side of the head and glue in place.

Glue the sheep bangs on top of the face and ears.

Glue the completed head onto the top of the sheep’s body.

Open up and write a special message!

Isn’t that a cute homemade card?

And, if you don’t want to make a card, you can simply cut out the sheep’s head without folding the paper and you’ll have a regular craft.

Sheep Craft Notes

One thing we would suggest that’s different from our directions above is to color in the sheep’s feet and ears before cutting them out.

We didn’t do this (as evident by the video), but little hands may have a harder time holding the small pieces still while coloring them in.

Also, if you need to simplify this craft, we have a few ideas for you:

• Leave off the little puffs that go on top of the legs. These are cute, but certainly not necessary.
• Skip coloring in the inner ears or just skip the ears all together!
• If you really need to pare this craft down, just make the head. Leaving the body off will help you cut down on a lot of cutting and gluing smaller pieces together.

Farm Animal Theme

We think if you had fun making this craft, you’d also love this handprint bunny craft.

Both this sheep craft and the handprint bunny are great if you’re doing a farm animal theme unit study, whether at home or in the classroom.

We also have these farm animal printables that are perfect for preschool and kindergarten children. They’ll help them work on letter recognition, cutting, counting, and more.

If you need a sensory or open-ended play experience, this farm bin is perfect for that! Just gather together your farm animal toys and a few other supplies to get started.

End it all with these free farm coloring pages and you’ll have loads of great farm-themed activities!
