Item Descriptions:

Farmer Pretend Play - Use the Farmer nametag, Farmer To Do List, dry erase marker, and farm animal printables from our Farm Animal Kit! We also included a Farm Hat for our little ones to really get in character.
Farm Animals + Barn - this barn opens down the middle for extra space to play. Our kids love putting the animals to bed in the barn and closing it up for the night!
Count Your Chickens Board Game - this cooperative game packs in so many great skills! Working together, understanding quantity, 1:1 counting, + more!
Farm Puzzle - We love this Melissa and Doug Farm puzzle!
Design and Drill - Build a Tractor - We LOVE the design and drill toys! They are great for building fine motor skills, problem solving, and working toward a goal.
Duplo Lego Farm Set - We love adding Legos to our play shelves because of the endless creativity that comes with them!
Farm Sensory Bin - We used deer corn, animals from our Farm Animals Kit, and some small tractors.
Bucket, Chicken Craft, + Eggs - Any bucket will do, chicken craft and eggs you can find in your Farm Animals Kit! We scatter the eggs around the "Farm" or near the chicken, then our little ones collected them in their bucket. After collecting the eggs, they got to mark off the job on their Farmer To Do List.
