Cut the hand shape out. Cover the palm of the hand and the base of the thumb and fingers with glue. Then attach cotton balls to make a sheep. Punch an eye for the sheep from the brown paper. Use the black marker to draw a dot in the center of the eye for a pupil. Glue the eye to the middle of the thumb. Tie a piece of thin ribbon around the base of the thumb to form a neck for the sheep. Tie the ribbon in a bow. Cut a heart shape from the pink paper small enough to fit on the back of the sheep. Write "The Lord is my shepherd" and "Twenty-Third Psalm" on the heart with the marker. Glue the heart to the reverse side of the sheep. This psalm tells us that Gods loves us and will take care of us.
