- Little Lamb Handprints … This past spring we visited a barn with lots of new baby lambs. So when we got home, we did this simple sheep handprint and the kids thought it was fun.
- Just trace around their hand with a white crayon on black construction paper.
- Cut out the hand (my 6-year-old could do it, but the 3-year-old needed help).
- Glue the handprint upside-down on a white paper.
- Put glue all over the palm, then add puffy cotton balls to make the sheep's wool.
- Add googly eyes
- Then the kids colored their background with things they remembered ... red barn, hay, dirt ... and of course lots of letters for practice :)
- Make finger Puppets to sing "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
- Wrap a 1" strip of paper around your finger & tape.
- Add hair, eyes and a dress to make Mary.
- Add cotton balls & googly eyes to make a sheep.
- OR … print & color this great finger puppet printable here! (page 2)
- Oatmeal Lamb
- Cut a simple sheep cutout from black cardstock.
- Add glue (spread around with finger to cover the body)
- Cover with dry oatmeal.
- Add legs & eyes to make a lamb.
