I've been knitting animals off and on between other projects, and I'm almost done felting the little chicks - hooray! To be honest, I needed a break from knitting, so I started on laying out the barnyard scene on paper yesterday. Today the big box of felt made its way upstairs and I've been chopping it to pieces all night. I suspect I'll be sewing it up on the weekend - how exciting!
Each barnyard contains:
- 1 hen
- 2 sheep
- 3 pigs
- 4 people
- 5 chicks
I've created the barnyard animals themselves to encourage parent-child interaction. So many stories and songs can be shared using the animals - the Three Little Pigs, Little Red Hen, 5 Little Chicks, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Mary Had a Little Lamb... The animals can also be counted and sorted. Lastly, each animal has its own little home to make clean-up time a little easier.
