More Fun Farm Activities to Keep Your Kids Entertained

While our fun, free printable farm templates are sure to keep your little ones occupied for hours, there are also plenty of other farm-inspired activities you can try, especially on rainy days. These activities include:

  1. Making a barnyard-themed sensory bin: sensory bins are perfect for toddlers who are just starting to crawl or walk and love exploring the world around them. To make a farm-themed sensory bin, all you need to do is fill a big plastic tub with dried corn kernels and add some plastic cups, spoons, and bowls, along with an assortment of farming toys, such as animals, tractors, and toy fencing. Once the bin is complete, simply step back and let your preschooler run wild, digging deep into the sensory bin and discovering all kinds of farming-inspired goodies!

  2. Make a farm collage: Collages are always a popular activity with young kids, and you can indulge your little one’s love of all things farming by creating a barnyard-themed collage. You can make collages out of all kinds of different materials, from different coloured card and paper to stickers and even fuzzy animals made out of felt. Buy in some Prit-stick and child-safe scissors and let the little ones get stuck in!

  3. Grow something together: Another enjoyable and highly rewarding farming-inspired activity you can do with your kids is to grow your own (miniature) crops! There are plenty of child-focused seed kits you can buy online, or you can simply pop to your nearest supermarket, pick up some seeds, some compost and some little pots, and start sowing! Cress, sunflowers, and tomatoes are perfect options for eager young gardeners, and they can be transplanted out to your backyard once they’re big enough.
