sheep

Lambing season is well underway in our area and a big annual event, Sheepvention, is coming soon.

Grade 2 and Grade 3 students made these lovely little sheep which are now displayed in their classrooms and in our school's foyer.

The idea came from Anne Farrell at  "Use Your Coloured Pencils" blog here. Thank you Anne, it was a fun activity.

The body base is a piece of cardboard, legs are clothes pegs, a bit of packing foam to create a fatter tummy and lots of wool wound round and round.

The clothes pegs were purchased from a $2 store, and many of them were not even enough to stand up once the wool was wound on. These particular sheep needed a blob of plasticine to keep them upright.
