Easy woolly sheep

 Alaina and Ruby spent the night last Friday.  It was a nice day and we even got to spend some time outside.



A friend from my work had given them some glow sticks and they had fun with them.


The next day we did a fun and easy craft, making woolly sheep.

I painted the squeeze part of some clip clothespins black. You need 2 clothespins per sheep.  Then I cut out a kidney shaped piece of cardboard or posterboard.  (I used paper plates)



The girls used a black sharpie to color a black face.




Then, you clip 2 clothespins to each body. 





Use thick yarn, color of your choice and wrap it around the body, covering all the white area.
Add a white dot to the face for an eye.







Here's our finished sheep!

  11. You are so crafty and fun, my friend. And I am so sorry about the passing of your dear father. I was mainly offline last week, but when I read your post, I said a prayer for him and for you. Hugs.
