Farm Unit For Kids

Let the kids continue learning and having fun by creating a farm-themed unit built around this goat headband. Read on below for our top ideas.

Start off your new unit with books! Do you know what is even better than reading? Reading aloud to kids! It’s a great way for them not only to develop their literacy, vocabulary, and comprehension but also to build concentration skills while listening!

Below are some of the most popular farm books for kids.

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.

Crafting with kids is a great activity for kids because it helps develop patience, concentration, and fine motor skills, among other things. It’s also fun to create memories with your children.
