20 Fun and Fresh Farm Crafts for Kids
Feed the animals, plant veggies, and learn about life on the farm with these fun and fresh farm crafts for kids! Perfect for preschoolers and primary kids.
Have you noticed that whenever we start teaching little kids about animals, we always start with pets like cats and dogs, move on to farm animals like cows and pigs and then introduce them to the jungle? I think parents across the world follow this pattern!
Maybe kids on the farm do it differently though, and we’ve decided to go the farm way too! With World Farm Animals Day on 2nd October, it’s the perfect time to celebrate these interesting and useful animals.
These crafts are perfect for the younger crowd, like preschoolers and kindergarteners. That’s not to say that older kids won’t enjoy making them! Some are educational and some are just plain fun – go ahead and choose what you like!
