Can you feel fall coming? I sure can, and it always reminds me of harvest time, fields of corn, and barns. So that’s why I decided to put together some farm crafts for you today.
These simple farm crafts would also work really well for an “Old MacDonald” theme or some other harvest-type theme.
Enjoy!
Paper Bag Puppet Cow – This is a cute paper bag puppet cow craft that younger kids will enjoy. It comes complete with templates for the cut out parts.
Horse Shoes – Cut a horse shoe shape out of heavy paper or cardstock. Wrap strips of aluminum foil around the horse shoe to make it look like it’s made out of metal. If you make several, you can play a kid-safe game of horse shoes.
Farm Mobile – This is a great template craft provided by Child’s Play Family Daycare. Print out each of the mobile pages on heavy paper or cardstock. Cut out the images and glue them together back to back. Punch a hole where indicated. Use the barn as the top image and create your mobile in any configuration you want using yarn or string to tie the pieces together.
Red Barn – This craft would be too difficult to do in a classroom setting unless you created one for the entire class to illustrate a book, story, or theme — but it was great fun to do at home with the kids. You simply print it, cut it out, and glue it together according to the directions to get a three dimensional red barn. In addition, you can also add a cow with this template.
Soda Bottle Piggy Bank – We just did a Farm unit at our center and a really cute profect that we did was to make a piggy bank. We used empty plastic water bottles and 20 oz. soda bottles. We used beads and glued them on for the legs and a piece of pink pipe-cleaner curled and glued it on for the tail. We glued on large wiggle eyes and cut a slit for the coins on the top edge. Use a permanant black marker to draw the nostrils on the bottle cap. Quarters will not come out through the spout.You might give this as an item of interest. ~ Submitted Anonymously
