- Take a palm sized a round of dough and flatten.

- Add a face, eyes and ears, then some legs.
- Add a Santa hat.
- You can add some grass on at the bottom or a small plaque, where you can add the persons name, a heart or a message.
If using regular dough oven dry, approx. 2 hours at 145oc/290of/Gas 1 1/2. Paint and varnish twice.
Air dry in a warm place or in the oven only if your paints are suitable (as heating dough with paint will give off fumes) then varnish twice.
Make different sheep for birthdays, presents or for fun.
