Spring is in the air and that means it’s almost time for Easter! Make this cute and easy sheep craft for kids. It’s great for spring, Easter, or farm unit studies.

There are so many awesome things to celebrate in the spring, but Easter is one of our favorites around here.

When we think of Easter animals we think of farm animals – namely lambs and sheep! Today, we’re sharing this super simple and cute sheep craft for kids.

It’s an easy Easter craft for kids that will help your children work on fine motor skills too!

Read on below, download our free sheep template, and watch our video tutorial to see how to make this craft with your kids or students! 

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Liquid glue
• Standard hole punch
• Scissors
• White pom poms
• Sheep template (click the “click here to get your freebie” image at the end of this post)

Directions

Download the sheep template and print out the pages on the corresponding colored card stock. Cut out the pieces you need.

Assemble the sheep’s head by gluing the eyes towards the top of the sheep’s head. Using a standard hole punch, cut out two small holes from the white paper to use as the sheep’s nostrils. Glue these toward the bottom of the sheep’s face.

Glue the small white fluff to the top of the sheep’s head.

Assemble the sheep’s body by gluing the four black paper legs behind the sheep’s body. Glue the assembled head onto the white body.

Glue the sheep craft onto the sky blue card stock, with the feet almost touching the bottom of the paper.

Cut out strips of grass from light and dark green paper, then glue them on the bottom of the sky blue paper, on top of the sheep’s legs.

Using the craft bond glue, make small dabs of glue on the sheep’s body and head fluff, and then place the white pom poms on top of each dab.

Repeat gluing the pom poms on the white parts of the sheep until you’ve glued them all over.

This fun sheep craft is so simple to make!

If you want to cut down on the number of supplies or want to make it a simpler craft for young children, you can always skip the pom poms altogether and make it an easy craft using just paper. You could also use cotton balls (instead of pom poms) if you have some to hand.
