LAMB PATTERN ACTIVITIES


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.
