Love Ewe Sheep
I came across a picture of these Love Ewe Sheep we made last year (before I started blogging) and thought it might inspire some Valentines cards.
To make them I cut out blocky "n" shapes for legs and faces shaped like a peanuts with floppy ears out of black construction paper. I also cut out a bunch of different sized hearts from red construction paper. The big sheep body is a crumpled coffee filter, and the smaller one is a crumpled oval of tissue paper. The kids glued all the pieces together on a background color of their choice.
One detail I do recall from making them was that it didn't matter if the legs were glued down first or not because little ones rarely glue edge tight anyway.

I love the idea of using tissue paper or coffee filter for the body!
ReplyDeleteI just came upon your blog and think it's great! :)
Thanks! Glad that you found us! Feel free to stop back again any time!
Deletetooooo cute! I love these. I wonder if I could use similar craft material to make them into tigers?
ReplyDeleteCoffee filters can be colored with markers then sprayed with water to make them whatever color you like, so I don't see why not. Please let me know how they turn out if you try!
