Today is Storybook Day in Tristan's preschool class. The children were asked to dress up as their favorite Mother Goose nursery rhyme. Well my little guy loves sheep, so originally we chose Mary Had A Little Lamb, which kinda morphed into The Lost Sheep this morning when we listened to the Veggie Tales version of the parable on the way to school.
Not wanting to go out and buy a lamb costume yesterday, I rummaged through my craft room for supplies to make him this little lamb hat. I started with a crocheted hat (leftover from when I use to make hair accessories) and some yarn. With a little help from my lovely assistant, Princess Mady, I used this nifty tool called the Doodle-Loom to make a gazillion pom-poms to mimick a fluffly lamb fro. Using a hot glue gun, I attached the pom-poms to the top of the hat and cotton balls along the edge, covering the remainder of the hat. Lastly, I cut out oversized ears out of white cardstock and attached those to the hat using hot glue, as well.
Now, he's ready to join the other nursery rhyme characters in his class, who by the way are too stinkin' cute! When I took him to his classroom, we saw the Hickory Dickory Dock mouse, three blind mice and even Bo Peep. Well fret not, my dear. We found your lost sheep ;)
