FUZZY LAMB

Use the large lamb pattern and cut out lamb shapes for your children from heavy paper. |
|
Set out glue, cotton balls and a black fine lined marker. |
|
Help children put eyes and a mouth on their lamb with the marker. |
|
Then have your children spread glue onto the middle section of the lamb and place white cotton balls on for the lambs wool.

LAMB PUPPET
|
Use the medium sized pattern and cut out lamb shapes for your children from heavy paper. |
|
Set out glue, small white felt squares, a black fine lined marker and some large craft sticks. |
|
Show your children how to pull small pieces of the felt off the corners of the fabric square. Continue until they have a pile of fuzzy felt. |
|
Then, have children spread glue on the lamb and cover the lamb with the fuzzy felt. |
|
Help your children put on a face with the black marker and a handle on by taping a large craft stick to the back of the lamb. |
|
Have your children hold up their lamb puppets while you all sing “Mary Had A Little Lamb”. |
| Variation: Instead of decorating with felt pieces, you could also use cotton balls for this activity. |

LAMBS IN THE SPRING GRASS
| |
Using the small patterns, cut out two or three small lamb shapes from white construction paper for each child. |
| |
From colorful paper, cut out very small flower shapes. |
| |
Give each child an 8 ½” x 11” piece of green paper and some scissors. |
|
Show children how to fringe one side of their papers using the scissors. |
|
Then, help each child fold the fringed part and press a crease across the bottom. |
|
Have children glue the fringe in place and bend some cut pieces down to resemble grass. |
|
Set out the paper lamb shapes and the flower shapes. |
|
Have children glue on two or three lambs on the paper and add three to five small flowers.
|
|
SPRING BORDER
You can use the lamb patterns to create a spring boarder for your room.
|
Using the small lamb pattern, cut out multiple white lambs. |
|
Then, using the small flower pattern from the Pattern Station, cut out small flowers using colorful construction paper. |

Next glue the lamb and the flower shapes on long 3” strips of light green paper, one lamb, one flower, etc. |
