Who doesn’t love the farm? Kids learn about farm animals early through books and songs , does anyone not know Old McDonald? These are great crafts and books to use any time of year with any age. These are some of our favorites.

How Big Is a Pig?
Updated for 2010 – at almost 4 my son still loves this book ( so much so that he wouldn’t allow me to move it to his sister’s room with the other board books) and now” reads” it along with me. Still a fun read at his age!

Oh, this is very neat. I just happened to be sitting next to construction paper, so we tried making the sheep. Remmy, however, decided that she’s scared of cotton balls – ha! I’ll bookmark this for the future. We live near a farm, so we’ll incorporate these crafts next time we go there. Thanks!

My son was adverse to feathers for the longest time. Try white tissue paper instead !
What a coincidence! I am planning my son’s farm-themed 2nd birthday and was trying to come up with a craft. I knew you’d have a ton of ideas, so I came straight over, but didn’t think there would be a bunch right on the front page! I especially love the corn project. Thanks for the inspiration, as always! 🙂

Love the bubble wrap corn — VERY cute!!! My oldest daughter wants to be a farmer when she grows up, so I’m sure these will be a big hit with her! 🙂

The Big Red Barn is Grace’s absolute favorite, most worn book. I think we read it ten times a day for her first two years. She has always loved the animals and the story. She hasn’t asked for it in a while, but I can still recite the whole thing in my head. I just adore that book. 🙂
