This lamb is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is fun for
young children to make. It makes a great project for preschool and
kindergarten kids and works well for an animals, farm animals, March in like a lamb, out

There is a small (single page) and larger (two templates) version to choose from.
Materials:
- something to color with if using the B&W version,
- scissors,
- glue,
- paper,
- optional: cotton balls
- You can use brass fasteners ("brads") instead of glue to attach the head, tail or arms if you want them to be moveable.
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice.
- Color (where appropriate).
- Cut out the template pieces -- parents can help cut out some of the more difficult pieces like the shears while children work on the easier pieces like the body and legs.
- Glue the lamb together in the following order:
- Glue the feet behind the body
- Glue the arms onto the body
- Glue the shears into one of the hands
- Glue the head onto the body
- Glue the ears and wool on top of the head
- See picture on the template for further help.
- Optional: tear cotton balls into small pieces and roll them into little balls. Glue them onto the "hair" on top of the head to make it look wooly and to the chest to make it look wooly too.
