Hand Print Sheep Craft

March 19, 2012 by OneMommy

Do you love doing hand print crafts with your little ones?

Maybe you’re like me and you’ve even kept a few to look back on and reminisce about when the kids were little.

This adorable hand print sheep craft is one preschooler Easter craft that I am definitely keeping.

When it comes to kid crafts, hand print crafts are always popular with toddlers and preschoolers.

This sheep craft was the perfect companion to our hand print chick craft.

Affiliate links have been provided below.  See my full disclosure here. 

Materials Needed:

  • Construction Paper
  • Cotton Balls
  • Craft Glue
  • Crayons/Markers

Trace your child’s hand on craft paper and cut it out.

I originally planned on using black paper for the sheep’s bodies, making them look like the real thing.  But I am a firm believer in letting kids own their craft, and my daughter wanted a pink sheep.

The thumb will become your sheep’s head, and the other 4 fingers will be legs.

Draw an eye, and if desired a smile and nose, on the sheep’s head.

Rip up cotton balls into 3-4 pieces each (my daughter loved doing this), and glue them onto the palm portion of the hand print to make the sheep’s wool.

Let your sheep craft dry and then hang it up for everyone to enjoy.

Of course, no girl sheep is complete without a bow, so Peanut added one to each of her little sheep.

Have you seen a cuter flock of sheep?

 

These hand print sheep make a cute spring craft.

They are also a fun toddler or preschooler Easter craft

Have fun crafting with your little one this spring!

    This is a cute activity. Another alternative that I do with my kids during occupational therapy is to use the white reinforcing hole stickers as their curly wool… and to push the task even further I have the kids practice making circles on the rings with a pencil or marker prior to sticking on… makes some nice colorful sheep in a meadow! have fun!

      What a great use for paper reinforcers! I’m sure we have a bunch left over from my husband’s high school days…

    I’ve made “I Love Ewe’s”. I fold card stock in half and we make the sign for ‘I love you’, tracing the hand with the wrist on the fold. That makes two palms to “wool”. Glue and tie the thumbs together and it will stand up.

      How cute! We made sheep with hand prints, but I love the idea of “love ewe’s”…

    These are adorable! My youngest made a turkey in school with her hand, but I didn’t think about doing a sheep – what a great idea. I will have to show her this when she gets home, I am sure she will want to do this over the weekend! I may need to get cotton balls tho.

    I buy lot’s of construction paper at the store when we go since she uses a lot. But we are fortunate that we can walk to the Crayola store if we run out of things 🙂

      Cotton balls are one of those fun things for kids to work with.
      Today mine got a hold of a handful and used them as snowballs. 🙂
