  • Using your black pen, draw dots in both the eyes to make the pupils.
  • Cut out a large oval from your pink paper.
  • Draw on two vertical lines to make the cows nostrils and then add a horizontal line for the cows mouth. A smile is always good here!

  • Once the paint on your paper plates has dried stick on the eyes, ears and horns using double sided sellotape. You can use normal glue for the pink part of the face but the sellotape will work better for the more unusual shape of the paper plates.
  • Your cow craft is now finished!

Notes

Don't have any pom poms? You could use an old washing up sponge instead.
If you run out of room on your second paper plate to cut out any of the ears, horns or eyes you could use white card or paper instead.
