Sheepish Preschool Craft

This Sheepish preschool craft should make any Storytime with Preschoolers fun.  The crafts are simple and fun. I  have included some really clever  rhymes and fingerplays to go with them.  Deanna, my mother-in-law finds and also writes the cutest rhymes and fingerplays, so I had to include her Sheepish ones with this post.

The books I am highlighting today are the Sheep books written by Nancy Shaw  and Margot Apple which include

Sheep in a Jeep
Sheep in a Shop
Sheep out to Eat

These books have predictable text, that follows the pictures with  language is naturally simple, which makes it perfect for preschool.
