Paper Bag Sheep Craft For Kids

Paper bag puppets are awesome because the bulk of the materials, paper and brown paper bags, are so cheap!

We ran out of brown paper bags a little while ago and headed to the store to get some more. We ended up at Target (doesn’t everyone?) and got a huge stack for about $2!!!

That’s one of the best reasons to make puppets in my opinion!

Supplies

• Brown paper bag
• Tan card stock
• White card stock
• Glue
• Scissors
• Markers (gray and light pink)
• Sheep puppet template

Directions

Download the paper bag sheep template, print and cut out the pieces.

Measure the bottom portion of the brown paper bag and cut out a piece of white paper in that size. Glue this rectangle to the bottom part of the bag.

Glue the sheep’s face to the top flap of the brown paper bag.

Glue the sheep’s bangs to the head, just above the eyes.

Use the pink marker to color in the sheep’s inner ears.

Attach the ears, one on each side, to the back of the sheep’s head.

Use the gray marker to draw fluffy lines all over the sheep’s white body and bangs.

You’re done!

This is an easy and cute sheep craft that’s great for springtime and Easter. And, like all of our paper bag crafts, they’re fun to play with when you’re done making them!

Making This Craft In A Group Setting

If you’re searching for an easy craft to do in the classroom, daycare or library, this is a great choice!

The majority of cutting is straight lines (besides the bangs and the ears), so even children who are working on scissor skills will be able to cut these lines.

On top of that, we’ve also provided you with a free printable template for multiple children.

In this part of the template, all of the pieces are separated by the colored paper they are to be printed on. This means you won’t have to cut, trace onto the paper you need, and cut again!

Don’t forget to scroll to the end of this page and enter your email in the form to get your copy of the template.
