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!

A collection of sheep crafts for kids with every art medium! Great for year of the 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.

Sheep in a Jeep is a fun rhyming story about sheep who total their jeep.  My kids enjoy their antics and good natured response to bad turn of events.Read the full review here. 
Where Is the Green Sheep? / Donde esta la oveja verde? (English and Spanish Edition)This rhyming story introduces children to color words.  Repetive text,  “Where is the green sheep,” helps even the youngest of readers participate in story re-tellings. Read the full book review here.
Baa Baa Black Sheep is another picture book I adore. The farm animals all believe sheep is being unkind by not fufilling their requests.  They realize at the end that she shares what she knows best. A tale about spreading kindness to others and giving what you have and what you do well. Read the full book review here.
