Did you know that 2015 is the Year of the Sheep according to the Chinese astrological calendar? (It’s also being called the Year of the Goat or the Ram).This Chinese New Year, celebrate by making this cute kid's activities, sheep mask! It is truly “ewnique”!
Sheep are considered by the Chinese to be tender, polite and artistic. Try channeling these positive traits in your little ones by crafting wearable sheep masks. They’re fun, fluffy and require little more than cotton balls and paper plates.

Cut out the middle of the plate, creating a hole large enough for your child’s face to fit snugly into.
Using glue, stick the cotton balls to the paper plate until you’ve built up a nice, thick coat of “fur.”
Cut oval-shaped “ears” from the cutout piece of the paper plate. Glue them onto either side of the mask.
