This sloth is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is fun for children to make.
  

Materials:

bulletsleepy eyes and nose/mouth onto the head
bullettwo legs with the pads onto the bottom of the large oval -- larger leg in the back
bullethead onto the top of the oval.  I positioned the head upside down
