Our school's annual auction is fast approaching. My students have been busy working on the class art project, which is a dollhouse-sized yurt with 12 sheep & a felted nomadic herder (made by moi). The frame of the yurt, with a diameter of app. 3 feet, has been created & we will do the felting next week. Most sheep have been knitted by the students.
The sheep are waiting to be sewn up. I have woodburned each student's name on a small wooden tag. The tag will be tied around each sheep's neck. Wooden tags courtesy of Tonya over at Natural Earth Farm. Superb craftsmanship I must say! The students are using Peace Fleece yarn. It's so soft! (I don't want to show the names of my students, so I used the extra tags to make name tags for my family.)
And each student copied the pattern!

What an inspiring teacher you must be! Be sure to show us a photo of the finished project.
What a wonderful idea. I'm going to have the children copy their own patterns to place in their bags. I hope we get pics of your finished product!

My students are in 3rd grade; 8 & 9 years old. This is a project that 1st or 2nd graders could probably do, too.
