Friday Activity

Let's learn what belongs on a farm!

  1. Gather up a variety of animals, foods, and other items you find on a farm from around your house. This could be pictures, books, etc - no worries if you don't have little figurines.
  2. Use 2 sheets of paper. On one sheet draw a quick barn (no need to be Picasso here!) and on the other draw a big x or no.
  3. Help your child to sort the items - what would you find on a farm? What doesn't belong there?
  4. Bonus activity - Hide the animals around your house and play hide and go seek
