Sheep are animals with a thick coat of warm wool. This wool gives a lot of heat to the animal. From the wool we make people all kinds of products: sweater, socks, jacket etc.. For children this can also be fun to take a closer look. You see a lot of wool coming off a sheep! That you can do this in practice is also an option. Of course not with real sheep because that is not the intention of course. These sheep are made of cardboard with a plasticized layer. On the sheep comes shaving cream which the children can “shave” off with a cardboard clipper. That has been an activity at the nursery of Ineke van der Linde. Read how it was made?


A nice vlog in which you can see how a sheep is shaved!

Ineke tells:

With the question of my daughter if I could do anything with 2 cardboard boxes of very thick quality, the idea was immediately born to draw sheep. I had to wait and see exactly how big the boxes were. There could also be only 2 sheep from 1 box (2 long sides and 2 short sides).

I wanted to make 4 so that the youngest children in my group who can all stand can also go to work at the same time. I also wanted to make them sustainable, so that I can reuse them myself or use them for charity. For that reason, the sheep are all plasticized with wide transparent adhesive tape that you can also close boxes before shipping.
