45 Preschool Farm Theme Activities

What Mama doesn’t love Farm crafts for preschoolers in the Spring! I wanted to share some of my favourite Farm crafts and activities today.

But first – guess what’s new over at our farm? We are building a barn! Yep, that’s right – we don’t actually have one yet.

Our ladies (now 18 of them, with their trusty rooster Christopher) currently reside in a shed that has been modified and chickenfied. It is really a nice place for them to come home to in the evenings. They like it. But I think they deserve better.

Plus, we are planning on getting a few other animals to join our homestead in the coming year or two. Maybe a sheep, or goat … or two of each. We will see, but first we must build them a barn.

With all the planning and pinning I have been doing with building a barn, my little ones have been enjoying many preschool farm theme activities.

I thought it would be useful to get a whole bunch of them all in one place in case you were a Mama planning a barn too (or, more likely, planning a preschool farm theme unit). Either way, I hope you and your little ones have some fun on the farm!
