Step by Step Tutorial
You are going to start this fun lamb project by printing out the sheep paper doll template.
Once you’ve cut all of the pieces, lay them out to make sure you have everything.
Poke a hole through the legs of the sheep. It will help you put everything together later.
Poke two holes (the white dots) through the sheep’s body.
Use scissors to make the holes bigger.
Take the split pins and put the sheep together.
Do one leg at a time on the sheep.
As you can see, the back legs can move around.
Complete both pairs of legs as shown.
Take the piece of red yarn and put it through the holes. If you don’t have red, you can use any color you have on hand.
Tie the yarn at the end.
Pull the little piece of yarn to move the sheep around.
Now you can sing songs and make the sheep run around. You can sing the song “Mary Had a Little Lamb” as the sheep dances back and forth.
