Spring Time Sheep
Purpose:  This activity encourages fine motor skills, bilateral skills and tactile input.

Materials:  oval cardboard, marker, yarn, clothes pins or mini clips and cotton balls
(Optional: tweezers)
Step 1: Draw an eye and mouth on the
oval cardboard.  Attach clips or clothes pin
as the legs.  Cut two small slits at the front
and back of the oval cardboard to start and
stop the yarn.  
Step 2: Wrap the string around the oval cardboard many times.  Be careful to wrap
yarn up and down using the clothes pins to separate versus horizontally or the yarn
will slip off the sheep body.

Step 5:  Optional:  Using another clothes pin or tweezers, "shear the sheep" by
removing the cotton balls from under the yarn.
