FRIDAY ACTIVITY: WHAT BELONGS ON A FARM?

  1. Gather up a variety of animals and things you find on a farm from around the house, photos or books will also work if you don’t have figurines
  2. Use two sheets of paper. On one piece of paper draw a quick barn, on the other draw a no symbol. Help your child sort things you can find on a farm vs things that would not be on a farm.
  3. Bonus - If you want to play more, hide the animals and objects around the house. Have your child go on a hunt to find them and sort them to the correct paper.
