At the Farm Activities, Crafts, and Lessons

This month's KidsSoup theme emphasizes the importance of farms. Many preschool or kindergarten children may have never been on a farm--in fact, they might even not know what a farm is. Through listening to farm-realted books and felt stories, sorting and matching pictures of foods and animals, participating in sensory activities, playing games, making crafts, singing songs, and performing in movement activities, children will form a basic knowledge of what a farmer does and what foods come from a farm.
