Farm Activities
Here are your activities for the week. Click on the titles if you need more detailed instructions!
Monday
AM: Paint With Veggies – create art with yummy veggies straight from the garden. Use part of it for painting and the rest for a snack!
PM: Paper Plate Pig – Paper plates are perfect for crafting, and this pig is not just a craft, it includes mixing colors too!
Tuesday
AM: Gardening For Letters – we plant carrots every year, so I decided to turn some pool noodles into letter carrots and play! Learning letters doesn’t have to be a drill, it can be fun and silly too!
PM: Cotton Ball Sheep – I love this craft because it allows kids to explore texture as well as create something. Don’t worry if your child’s sheep doesn’t look like a sheep, let them explore and create.
Wednesday
AM:Farm Sensory Play – fill, scoop, pour! This sensory bin encourages a lot of learning and imaginative play.
PM: Peel & Pick Apple Tree – go searching for letters on this apple tree and use fine motor skills to pinch and peel the apples off.
Thursday
AM: Habitat Sorting – Where DO these animals live? Explore natural habitats with your child’s animal toys.
PM: Handprint Hen – I love handprint crafts because they capture how little your child was when they created it.
Friday
AM: Shape Scarecrow – this scarecrow is a must in every farmer’s field and creating with shapes is a great way to manipulate and learn about them in a hands-on way.
PM: Rip & Glue Carrot – this simple craft works on hand strength as kids rip the paper and is the perfect activity before sitting down to some carrot sticks for snack!
