How To Make a Paper Plate Lamb
1. Cut out the face and ears
From black construction paper, cut- an oval shape for the lamb’s face, two droopy ears and 4 rectangle legs. Pre cut these shapes for preschoolers or younger to keep things easy.
2. Create the fluffy body
Cover the paper plate with glue. Let kids stretch and stick on cotton balls to make a soft, fluffy coat.
3. Assemble the lamb
Glue the face to the center of the plate, slightly overlapping the cotton. Attach the ears on each side. Stick on googly eyes. Glue legs to the body. You could also use a double sided tape here.
4. Let it dry and display
Once dry, your fluffy lamb is ready to hang, display, or turn into a puppet!
