I came across this wonderful site and totally fell in love with the cotton ball sheep. It is so easy to make, so we had to try it since R Jr. loves to sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep". Well, we had a ball making this:)
R Jr. needed some practice with crumpling the paper into a ball. So, he first worked with an old newspaper till he got it right. Once he had a decent looking ball, I ran some tape around the ball to hold its shape.
Then I had R Jr. stick the cotton balls all over.
Once the body had dried, I inserted black straws(cut to equal length) for legs. I cut out an oval for the face and two small leaf shaped ears. I had R Jr. put the face together, finishing it off with a pair of googly eyes. I glued the face to the body and ta-da!!!
