How to make a clothespin sheep

To start making your clothespin sheet print the body printout of the sheep and cut it out. Next Color the end pieces of two clothespins with a black marker. This will be the sheep’s feet. Clip the clothespins to the body. You may have to manipulate the pins so that the sheep stands well.

Once you have a standing sheep take out a few cotton balls and stretch them out. Rub glue on the body of the sheep and the upper part of the clothes pins. Then apply the stretched out cotton ball. I was out of glue sticks so I used Elmer’s glue and Q-Tips. The Q-tips kept everyone glue free and made clean up easy.

Cut out a face and ears. I found that it does not really matter what shape the face and ears are. Some kids did circles, some did ovals and others did random shapes, they all turned out cute. just make sure they are an appropriate size. After you cut out the face and ears attach them with glue.

After you assemble the sheep use white out to put eyes and a nose on the sheep. Let it dry and ta-da you have an adorable crafted sheep for kids to play farm animals.
