"I'm so glad your daughter made the cowboy craft. He was a great little 15 min. project for this weeks Wednesday's "centers" day. 

Here in Tucson, AZ our kids get 2 days off for "Rodeo Week". I needed a cowGIRL also (for the girls in my son's Kindergarten class), so I made a few variations on the cowboy and wala! He's a she (lol). Not as complicated as God's work in us mind you, but for this it fit the bill great :)."

Thanks for sharing your template with us Heather!

  

Materials:

The craft is made with a
bullet toilet paper tube
bullet a printer
bullet a piece of paper
bullet some crayons
bulletscissors
bullet and glue.

( I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.)

  

Directions:
   

bulletPrint out the template of choice.
 
bulletColour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. 
 
bulletGlue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.  (On the colour template, the blue part is meant to be the pants and the red part is meant to be the shirt)
 
bulletGlue on the head, arms, and boots.
 
bullet"Decorate" as a cowgirl with hat, bow, scarf and guitar.
