One particularly fun craft to make in March is to have the children trace their hand on black construction paper, cut it out, glue cotton balls on the palm of the hand, and add squiggly eyes to make a sheep. The thumb becomes the head and the fingers serve as legs.

I remember one center group busily working on this craft one year when one little boy looked over at the child beside him and declared in disgust "Man, this is some UGLY dog!" My suggestion to all you kindergarten teachers out there would be to repeatedly remind the children of what they are making.
