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!
Little Blue Truck is one of the most popular books in our house. The cool illustrations and rhyming words really make this story fun to read. And with a whole series after this one, kids love getting to know the characters more and more!
The Cow Said Neigh! is a fun and silly book about farm animals who wish they were another farm animal. Kids will enjoy the rhyming and learn that each of us (animals included) has strengths we should embrace.

I have a nonprofit called, A Rhea of Hope LA, whose mission is to raise awareness and funds for Cholangiocarcinoma, also called Bile Duct Cancer. People cannot remember or say Cholangiocarcinoma, so I use Bile Duct more often. At my Oktoberfest fundraiser, I have a "Bile Duck" mascot and games for the kids, and I want to have some stations with some of your cute duck crafts.
