Easy Shaun the Sheep Craft

Squeaker is absolutely in love with Shaun the Sheep! She’s had a Shaun stuffed animal of her own for a little over a year now and it was just recently that she discovered the Shaun the Sheep cartoon series on the Kindle. We’ve also watched A Close Shave with her, and she seemed to be pretty fond of that when the sheep were around. With the movie coming out here in the United States soon, and Squeaker getting ever so excited when she sees the trailer, I thought we could make an easy Shaun the Sheep Craft.

Four Seasons Printable Pack

Are you looking to help your child learn about the four seasons? Or maybe you’d like to talk about Vivaldi’s Four Seasons! Either way, or for whatever other use that you may have, for this week’s Freebie Friday, I’m sharing a four seasons printable pack. This is also my very first pack with both English and Spanish.

And, I honestly believe that you can’t start too early when it comes to learning a foreign language. It will definitely be an adventure though because I don’t know Spanish so I’ll be learning it right along with Squeaker. I am incredibly proud of this…
