Craft: Rocking Sheep
This week's craft is based on the picture above.  A paper plate was folded in half.  Cotton balls were stretched and glued to the inner ring of the paper plate for the sheep's body.  Black paper strips were glued as legs and two paper circles were glued on (back-to-back) for the head.  The outer ring could then be colored as grass or other background.

Extension Activities:
- Practice phonics using the "baa" sound.  See how many words your child can think of that start with the "baa" sound.
- See if you can visit a working sheep farm to see what sheep's wool is really like.
