Valentine Sheep Craft for Preschoolers

This idea was inspired by Kids Craft Weekly.  I knew that when I originally saw this it would be a fun craft for anytime, but with Valentine's Day right around the corner, what a fun way to celebrate!  You could even fill the sheep with candy and give to friends.  The best part is that you probably have most of these items on hand in your house.  I love crafts that don't involve me heading to the craft store to purchase 45 different things.

Valentine Sheep Craft

Materials Needed:

  • one toilet paper roll
  • several cotton balls
  • 4 q-tips
  • one black pipe cleaner
  • hot glue or craft glue
  • tissue paper, toilet paper or paper towel
  • black sharpie marker
  • red construction paper
Instructions:
  • Using an empty toilet paper roll, hot glue 4 q-tips to the roll in order to create legs.  TIP: make sure to angle the legs so that they look a little more realistic.  
  • Determine which end is going to be the head and start gluing cotton balls onto the toilet paper roll.  Make sure to leave the opening for the head and glue cotton balls on top of each other on the back to close it in.  I even added one extra in the middle for a tail!
  • Bunch up your tissue or toilet paper and stick inside the toilet paper roll in order to create a face.
  • Draw eyes on with the black sharpie
  • Cut the pipe cleaner in half and roll each to look like horns.  Attach to the top of the cotton balls above the head.
  • Cut a heart out of your red construction paper and write "I love Ewe" or maybe your child's name.

    Just really cute. I'm so fond of sheep knick-knacks and such. The nicest thing about this other than it's simple is that I actually have all the ingredients in my house except for the pipe cleaner and my G'daughters right now. I'll remember this though for when they come for a visit.
    Thank you for sharing.

    What a fun and creative activity. I will use this idea the next time I have to babysit my niece. She is going to love it.
