Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep

On the first day of pre-school, we sang "Baa Baa Black Sheep", and then explored a few other colors, using my magnet board.

The magnet board is a piece of scrap lumber painted with many coats of magnetic paint, and then covered with a simple farm scene in acrylic paint.
The sheep is a paper cut-out, with magnets AND washers (not aluminum of course!) on the back side. Laminating will make it last longer. Mine are done with clear packing tape.



The washers are there to give the colored "wool" magnets something to attach to.

My Mom helpers made sure each child had a turn to change the sheep's "wool", and we sang for them. Baa, Baa Yellow sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
