Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full.One for my master, One for my dame, And one for my little boy Who lives down the lane. Do you have a baby shower coming up? Maybe looking for a cute lap blanket. This crib blanket is made with bulky soft yarn …so it is thick,solid and warm. The sheep are appliquéd on and babies love the feel. Reminds you of those texture baby books … you know the one where you can pet the lamp. I avoided using pastel or primary colors you see often in baby items. I think that the dusty colors will grow with the child. This is for babies so yes it can be machine washed and dried. Measurements: 36″ by 36″ Click Here to Purchase: Souful Kisses The reason to the words and history to this song were to associate wool and wool products with the animal that produces it, not to mention the sound that a sheep would make! The first grasp of language for a child or baby is to imitate the sounds or noises that animals make – onomatopoeia (words sound like their meaning e.g. baa baa in “Baa, baa black sheep”). The History and Origins of Baa Baa Black Sheep Nursery Rhyme: But our further research indicates another possible connection of this Nursery rhyme to English history relating to King Edward II (1307-1327). The best wool in Europe was produced in England but the cloth workers from Flanders, Bruges and Lille were better skilled in the complex finishing trades such as dying and fulling (cleansing, shrinking, and thickening the cloth). King Edward II encouraged Flemmish weavers and cloth dyers to improve the quality of the final English products. |
