Suggested Ages: All

Use recycled packing peanuts to create a cheery sheep puppet and learn about the 26 sheep Rufus King had on his property. It may come in handy when you are having trouble sleeping at night, especially due to Daylight Savings (March 10th).

In King’s time, sheep were mainly used for their wool and not yet for their meat. See the original wool carders, a loom, and a spinning wheel that were used to make clothing and blankets.
