Burnham Bunch: Sheep

Sheep

Read: Where is Green Sheep? by Mem Fox and Sneaky Sheep by Chris Monroe

Flannelboard: Where is green sheep hiding?
I laminated clip art images of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple shrubs and gray, pink, brown and green sheep. I placed the shrubs on the board, and I hid a one of each sheep behind a different shrub. Then I asked "Where is green sheep? Where is green sheep? Is it behind the _____ shrub (point to the shrub and have the children say the color). Repeat until we find the green sheep.

Where is Green Sheep?

There is Green Sheep!
Craft: Cotton ball Sheep
  • Need: Sheep drawing/clip art, sticky-back paper, cotton balls, gray crayon and sticker eye.
  • Prior to storytime, find and enlarge a clip art sheep. Copy onto sheets of 8.5 x 11 copy paper. Trim around shape and cut out a hole in the middle. Trim sticky-paper a bit larger than hole. Adhere the paper onto the back of the sheep. And replace the backing (to protect from rogue lint and hair)
  • Place one sheep, gray crayon and sticker-eye at each seat.
  • Instruct the children, to color the face and legs of the sheep gray and adhere the eye.
  • Then when that is completed, have the children remove the sticky-back backing and have the children place cotton balls on the sheep's belly.
  • Umm, have I mentioned how much I LOVE sticky-back paper???
