Have you ever seen such cute farm animals? I think not! I adapted this from a cute art project found here.
We talked about farm life this week including how hard farmers work, what animals we might find on a farm, and what kind of work has to be done to keep up with the animals and crops.
We practiced milking the cows with our water-filled Latex gloves. It was "udder"ly awesome!
We sorted our farm animals by color, size, feathers or fur, and whether they could fly or walk.
We practiced our counting skills with our piggy bank numbers. We also had nickels and dimes for the piggies with the high numbers on them.
We talked about how pigs love to play in the mud and how it helps them to stay cool. I didn't get any pictures, but for an art project we made a pig in the mud. I'm thinking the kids like playing in the mud just as much as the pigs!
We talked about how chickens lay eggs and practiced our upper to lowercase alphabet recognition with these plastic eggs.
We also worked on alphabetic order with these letter strips that had missing letters for the kids to fill in. This is a good one to work on at home as well because you probably have everything you would need to do it, and it will help them start to recognize those few letters that they just can't seem to remember by singing the alphabet and recognizing the letters as they sing.
This puzzle helped us to envision a farm.
We made our own homemade peanut butter with just a blender, peanuts, and a bit of honey.
YUM!
