Step 1
To complete this project, you will need 4 colors of 9x12" construction paper: sky blue (or light blue), green, red and white. Cut the green sheet in half to 4-1/2 x 12". Cut the red and white sheets in half to 9x6". You will use the entire 9x12" sheet of sky blue as the background.
Step 2
Cut a 1x12" strip off the green sheet. (1)
Above the line, draw green grass strips. (2)
Use scissors to fringe the grass strips, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the paper. (3)
Step 3
Using the Roylco's My First Stencil set, trace the barn and silo on the red sheet of paper.
Step 4
Flip the stencil over and trace the other side of the barn.
Step 5
Add details to the barn. Our barn has a dark roof, doors and a window. The silo also has curved sides and a roof.
Step 6
Glue the larger green sheet to the bottom of the blue sheet. Place the barn on top and glue in place.
Step 7
Using craft sticks, create a fence and glue in place.
Step 8
Trace the cow stencil on the white sheet. Draw a few clouds in the empty white space.
Step 9
Color the cow. We added hooves, eyes, tail, horns, a muzzle and nostrils. Cut out the cow and clouds.
Step 10
Glue the clouds to the background, on either side of the barn. Glue the cow in place, on top of the fence. To finish, attach the grass strip to the bottom edge of the green sheet, overlapping the hooves if necessary. Curl the grass strips down for a 3D look.
