Sticky Sheep Farm Activity for Preschool and Free Printable

STICKY SHEEP

I have been doing this sticky sheep activity for a long time, and last year it went a little sideways. I ended up making a sheep that looked more like Yoda than Mary’s little lamb. Look at it here.  Even though my point about things not having to be perfect stands I still wanted to make this a little more visually enticing for my students this year and I am sharing it with you too!

The learning benefits of this activity are awesome, not only are children exploring different textures but the activity also naturally works on fine motor development as well as invites counting. “Look, Ms. Allie, I put six on!” trust me, I’ll hear something just like that this week as this sheep hands in my classroom.

For more activities like this, check out our printable thematic units. There are multiple themes to choose from and you can even bundle to save 20%! 

Here is how I made my updated version of this sticky sheep farm activity for preschool!
