After we visited Davis Farmland M went through a cow phase. He moo'ed for a week and would wave to the cow on our milk delivery box in the driveway. This week he moved on from cows to sheep. He bahs instead of moos and likes finding sheep in his animal books. There are signs the sheep phase is almost ready to be replaced with a duck phase so this morning we made the most of sheep while we still like them.
This morning we made a sheep. I cut pieces out of black and white construction paper. The body looked like the cutout of a puffy white cloud. I covered it with a glue stick and showed M how to stick on cotton balls.
We had to stop to play with the cotton balls (he had never seen them before). He did well sticking them on. With the exception of the initial cotton ball that I put on, he put them all on. Then I added the legs and head. We added some googly eyes that we have been saving for a project we're going to try in a few weeks when we get home from our beach vacation. He's not the fuzziest sheep but we like him.
We hung him up and M likes pointing to him and bahing. Maybe we've prolonged the sheep phase for a few days.
