This is handprint sheep is a cute and fun project
to do with your children. It is extra special and has more meaning
since it uses the child's handprint. It will be one of those keepers
for sure! This is great for a school art project too, and you don't
need too many supplies.
Things Needed: (If
you have trouble finding certain items at your local craft store, check

1.
Begin by pouring some of the black paint on a paper plate. Have your
card stock ready. Then, have your child dip his or her hand into the
paint and make a handprint in the center of the card stock. Allow this
to dry well.
2. When the
handprint is dry, it is time to decorate it. Turn the handprint upside
down, so the fingers are pointing down. The fingers will be the sheep's
legs, and the thumb is his tail.
3. Use cotton balls, and spread them apart
slightly to glue them on the center of the sheep.
4.
Make the sheep's head by cutting an oval from black paper. I like to
use the handle of my scissors as a template. Then glue on a googly eye.
You can use a black marker to add a little ear.
