Are craft sticks and popsicle sticks the same?

No, craft sticks and popsicle sticks are not the same thing. They are both made of wood or plastic, and can be used for a variety of crafting projects. Both come in many different shapes and sizes, making them perfect for any kind of project you have in mind. But craft sticks are generally larger than popsicle sticks, making them better suited for larger projects and crafts. So when you’re looking to make a sheep craft with popsicle sticks, make sure they are actually craft sticks! You can find these in your local craft store or online.

While popsicle sticks can be used for crafting, craft sticks are created strictly for crafting purposes and I wouldn’t recommend using them as popsicle sticks for ice cream and other frozen treats.

Whether it’s making a lamb or sheep craft with popsicle sticks or craft sticks, you can be sure that your kids will have a fun time crafting away!

How to make a sheep step-by-step instructions

STEP ONE

Gather all supplies. To create the Lamb, line up six jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the Lamb and attach with a glue gun and glue sticks.

TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.

STEP TWO

Base coat the front and sides of the Lamb with gray acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.

STEP THREE

Print the sheep printable templates, then cut them out with scissors. Trace the nose once onto black craft felt. Trace the ear twice onto grey craft felt. Trace the wooly hair pattern once onto white craft felt. Cut out all patterns with scissors making sure to cut inside the traced lines for a clean, finished project. You could also use colored cardstock or craft foam instead of felt for this project.

STEP FOUR

Attach two wiggle eyes to the Lamb’s face with a glue gun and glue sticks. Create cheeks by dipping a sponge dabber into pink acrylic craft paint and stamping on either side of the face. Glue the nose just under the eyes, and then attach the ears to the top right and left of the Lamb.

STEP FIVE

Attach the Lamb’s wooly hair to the top center of the head with a glue gun and glue sticks. To finish, draw a straight line down from the nose to create the Lamb’s mouth.

This adorable sheep craft is a fun activity to keep toddlers and preschoolers busy with coloring, counting, and motor skills. Make this wooden sheep/lamb in just about 30 minutes and have fun!
