Where is the Green Sheep? Book & Felt Sheep

Support early literacy and interactive storytelling with the Where is the Green Sheep? Book & Felt Sheep set. This engaging resource features the much-loved children's book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek, paired with a set of tactile felt sheep characters that bring the story to life. As children search for the elusive green sheep, they can physically move and match the felt pieces to each scene, encouraging active participation, comprehension, and fun. The felt sheep represent various characters from the book, including the blue sheep, red sheep, scared sheep, and more-helping children connect descriptive language with visual and tactile representations. This multisensory approach supports vocabulary development, positional language, and sequencing skills while nurturing a love of reading. Perfect for group reading sessions, literacy centres, or one-on-one storytelling, this set allows children to explore rhyme, repetition, and character recognition in a playful, hands-on way. It's also a wonderful resource for supporting children with diverse learning needs through visual and kinaesthetic learning strategies.
