Down on the Farm

Who doesn't love farm animals? The kids loved FARM WEEK. There was so much to do...

Dramatic Play
We added large boxes, taped together (stalls) and a couple of window flower boxes (feed boxes) a bucket, some big boots, overalls, and straw hat. The kids enjoyed being animals, and being the farmer too!


Math- farm animal counters with barns for sorting


Sensory Table
*Oats
*Corn for shucking
*"Milk a cow" with latex gloves filled with water and holes poked in the fingers. Use a bucket!

Hay with surprises for the kids to discover

Read Mrs. Wishy Washy's Farm
Then fill up a bucket of soapy water and let the children wash farm animals made of foam paper, and hang them to dry with clothespins.

Paintbrushes made with hay
Gather a small bundle of hay
and bind together with string or
rubber bands. Let children
paint masterpieces!
