COLOUR ME BEAUTIFUL

SHEEP CHEERING
COVER a hat in loads of white cotton wool so that it looks like a big fluffy sheep.
Cut out a black sheep face and ears from black paper, add a pair of stick-on googly eyes and stick the face to the fluff.
Hop to it
CUT out some large bunny ears from cardboard.
Paint the middle of the ears pink, then the rest grey.
Secure the ears to a bonnet or headband.
If you’re using a hat, you can add card or pipe cleaner whiskers to the brim and a pair of big bunny teeth.
