Counting Sheep

A few weeks ago we got the cutest book from the library, The Sheep Fairy. It's a bit silly, perhaps not quality literature, but cute nonetheless :)

After reading it since we were also working on number sense and counting we decided to make some sheep to count.

Materials:

• cotton balls
• glue
• construction paper
• crayon

Instructions:

1. Draw small circles on the paper and have your child put a dot of glue in each circle.
2. Have your child place a cotton ball on each dot of glue.
3. Draw an oval for a head on one side of each cotton ball and 4 sticks for legs. If your child can scribble feel free to guide him/her in drawing their own sticks for legs on the bottom of the cotton balls.
4. Have fun counting sheep. Feel free to include as many or as few as you and your child want!
