Farm Themed Play

Ducks ๐Ÿฆ†, Cows ๐Ÿฎ, Pigs ๐Ÿท and Sheep ๐Ÿ‘ on a magical Farm ๐Ÿšœ. So much fun to be had โ€˜Down on the Farmโ€™. This simple play tray is great for developing your munchkins fine motor-skills, language acquisition, social and emotional skills, learning about the world, early counting skills and most importantly of all, leads to lots of imaginative play!

Quite simple to set up! For our โ€˜Down on the Farmโ€™ playtime we used;

  • Wooden farm buildings

  • Small toy farm animals

  • Happy land toys

  • Soil/Mud from the garden

  • A blue plastic sheet for the pond

  • Grass cuttings

  • Red lentils

  • Cous Cous

To make the the Farm edible, we exchanged

  • the soil for flour mixed with water

  • we used rice/spaghetti dyed green for the grass

To add to the fun, we paired the finished farm up with songs and rhymes such as

  • Old McDonald ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿฝโ€๐ŸŒพ

  • The Wheels of the Tractor ๐Ÿšœ

  • Five little ducks ๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿฆ†

  • We also read some stories from childrenโ€™s farm books ๐Ÿ“š

Have fun and explore the farm!!
