When I recently spotted the April issue of Woman's Day magazine at the store, my eye was drawn to the adorably fluffy sheep eggs that were on the cover.
It turns out these little lambs are easy and inexpensive to make--the main supplies you'll need are cotton balls and pom pom balls (you might want a smaller size for the tail than the legs). You'll find the instructions here.
I think using decorative paper for the ears adds a lot of extra cuteness to this craft.
Also, I'm imagining that using undyed white or brown eggs (or any other color, for that matter) would work well in addition to dyed ones; it's actually hard to tell if the ones in the photos were dyed, though in looking at the magazine cover, I had thought at least one of the sheep eggs had been.
Lastly, I think a permanent marker or pen (as opposed to a water-based one) would probably work best for drawing on the faces; this Sharpie "Ultra Fine" tip marker comes to mind as something that might be suitable. (*To avoid confusion, I'll mention that Sharpie's standard marker is labeled as being "Fine" on the package--though these two markers look different/have different shapes, so that helps.)
