This paper plate sheep craft is great for your Sunday school lesson on Psalm 23! Students can make this fun craft from paper plates, cotton balls, and construction paper. Templates for the head and legs are included, as well as the printable for the craft that includes the first verse in Psalm 23. This passage is a wonderful reminder that the Lord loves us and will always take good care of us! Be sure to download the Free Sheep Template and Printable Here.
You will need to print out and cut the tracers and "The Lord is My Shepherd" verse part of the craft. You can download both of these for free here. I like to print my tracers onto white cardstock so that they are easier to trace. I also love using the Paper Trimmer to cut anything with a straight line, like the verse part of the craft!
Use the head and feet tracers to trace the outlines onto a half sheet of black construction paper. Then cut them out.
Put glue onto a White Paper Dessert Plate and then stick cotton balls onto the plate. For younger children, you may want to be the one that puts the glue on first and then have them attach the cotton balls.
The two sheep legs will need to be folded accordion style and then attached to the back of the plate. I like using Glue Dots because it sticks right away and there is no dry time. (You could also use tape or glue.)
To make the sheep's head you will need to attach two Super Huge Black Googly Eyes onto the head. Glue Dots make this step a lot faster than regular glue, but you can use either. Next, put glue onto the back of the head and attach it to the body. Then, glue one cotton ball to the top of the sheep's head.
