"How sweet is this paper plate lamb craft?! We love crafts that can be made with things that you already have around the house. To make this paper plate lamb craft, you will need: white paper plates, large wiggly eyes, white, black, and pink construction paper, glue stick or white school glue, and cotton balls. You can also add magnets to the back to make a cute fridge decoration! This paper plate lamb craft is a wonderful craft to follow up a farm field trip!"
Primary TechniqueGeneral Crafts
Materials List
- white paper plates
- large wiggly eyes
- white, black, and pink construction paper
- glue stick or white school glue
- cotton balls
Instructions
-
After gathering supplies, help kids to cut out a small black heart for the lamb’s nose.
-
Show kids how to fold the white and pink paper in half, then draw a long ear shape for them to cut out. When they are finished cutting, they should have 4 pieces to work with. Pick up the 2 pink pieces and trim them so they are slightly smaller than the white pieces.
-
Glue the pink pieces onto the white pieces to make ears for the lamb. Glue the ears to the back of the paper plate.
-
Invite kids to glue 2 large wiggly eyes to their paper plate. If they wish, they may draw a mouth on their lamb.
-
Next, kids will need to gently pull apart the cotton balls and glue them onto the paper plate. White school glue is best for this task!
-
When the lambs are finished, kids may glue a loop of ribbon to the back so they can hang them, or glue a large craft stick to the back to use as a puppet. Simple, cute, and fun!
