When spring comes along, one of our family’s favorite things to do is go to the local feed store and check out all the ducklings!

They’re so adorable and we just can’t get enough of them.

That’s one of the reasons we made this duck headband craft. It’s a fun farm animal craft for kids to make at home, school, or daycare.

Watch our quick video tutorial and then download the free printable template to make this simple craft with your kids or students!

Mr.s Wishy-Washy’s Farm is a classic farm animal books for kids. In this story, the animals revolt against Mrs. Wishy-Washy’s baths and leave the farm. You have to read the story to find out what crazy shenanigans the animals run into after they leave the farm!
