Sheep Crafts

It is the year of the sheep! Stop by the library to check out a few sheep books, then gather simple supplies around your house to make a few of these adorable sheep crafts!

Crafting with your kids encourages creativity, strengthens fine motor muscles and provides a wonderful opportunity to develop vocabulary! When combined with a good book, crafting enhances learning.
