If you choose, you can start by drawing hooves onto your dollpins with your black marker. The forked end will go onto the cup, so draw your hoof onto the opposite solid end, which will become your sheep's foot. Remember, you'll need four dollpins per sheep!

Apply a little bit of tacky glue into the forked end of your dollpin, and slide the dollpin onto the rim of the cup. Each pin should be about 90º from the others, so that the four pins are evenly spaced. You can flip your cup upside-down and make sure the feet are evenly spaced to distribute the weight of the cup, and adjust as necessary.

Now, begin gluing the cotton balls to the cup! You can brush on some tacky glue or give the cup a good rub with your glue stick. Press the cotton balls firmly onto the cup. Apply some glue to the tops of your dollpins and cover them with cotton balls as well. You can also gently stretch your cotton balls before applying so that you have a looser, fluffy look! Continue until you have covered the entire cup.

Now for your sheepie's head! There are many different items you can use: an extra cotton ball, a foam craft "marshmallow" (not an edible one!), a tiny paper cup, a cork, a styrofoam ball -- have fun finding things around the house that might work for you! Here, we're using a foam craft ball. Apply some glue and press it onto the top of your cup, centered between two of the legs.

You can now either attach googly eyes to the head using your tacky glue, or you can draw them on with your black marker. Don't forget to add a little nose and mouth with your marker, too!

Using your black construction paper or felt, you can cut out two teardrop-shaped ears, a tail, a nose (if you didn't already draw one), and glue those onto your sheep.

Baaaa! Your sheep is ready to play and dance in a grassy field to welcome in spring!
