Supplies:
brown foam
scrap of white or grey foam
scrap of pink foam
black Sharpie
6MM wiggly eyes
red and black sequin
1/4 inch ribbon
Tacky white glue
magnetic strip (cut with scissors)
alphabet macaroni
Instructions:
Print out the template (make 2 of the cow). I prefer card stock because it is easier trace around.
Lay patterns right side down on the foam and trace around them with a black Sharpie. The reason for this is so that if any of the line remains when you cut them out, the lines will not be visible to your finished craft. Cut out the pieces and turn the pieces right side up.
Position the udder in the proper place between the 2 cow pieces and glue in place.
Matching the edges of cow pieces, glue them together.
Match up the tips of the horns, and glue the horn piece in place.
Make a bow with the ribbon, and glue it to the horns as shown in the photo.

Glue eyes, nose and mouth in place.
Using a toothpick, place a small dot of white glue where you want to start the text. Position the "H", and continue with all the alphabet macaroni letters to spell out "Holy Cow, Are You Eating Again". If you are unable to find the alphabet macaroni, just print the words on paper or poster board and glue to the cow.
Glue a couple strips of magnet to the back of the cow.
