Select the colors of card stock you wish to use. For standard sheep colors, you can choose white, black, brown, and pink. If you wish, you can choose other fun colors to get creative with.

Take a pencil and trace a simple outline of a lamb on the card stock. Draw it as large as the card stock will allow and make sure areas like the legs and ears are wide enough that they will be easy to cut around.

Tips & Warnings
To add an extra element of fun, use googly-eyes instead of drawing them on.
If you don't want to draw the lambs, you can use a printer to print a picture of a lamb directly onto the card stock.
If you are doing this activity with small kids, it's a good idea to use safety scissors or have an adult cut for them.
