The Agreeable Sheep has moved from the Flying Pig web site to her new home here at robives.com. As a member you can download the parts file for free at the bottom of this post – I hope you enjoy it.
You will need a pair of scissors, some glue and a glue spreader. The best type of glue to use is white school glue (PVA.) A pair of tweezers will also be useful.
Print out the parts sheets onto thin card. Note that the parts sheets are marked front and back. Print out the front, flip the card over, pop the card back in the printer and print the back. Leave the ink to dry completely before continuing.
Before cutting anything out, score along all the dotted lines. This job is easier to do on full sheets of paper.
Dashed lines are hill folds, dotted lines are valley folds. Cut along the solid lines. Grey areas show where to glue.

Not one to stand out of the crowd, our woolly friend agrees with everything you say…
"Is this a good colour scheme?" "Yes!"
"Would you like to go for a walk?" "Yes!"
"Are you having a good time?" "Yes!"
"Does my bum look big in this?" …probably best not to ask.
With this agreeable model you need never get a second opinion again.
Baa baa baa!
