Method:

Add the natural materials to a different section of the tray each and add farm animals. Invite your child to play and engage in discussions about the animals.

Talking about the animals, their names, the noises they make and what their babies are called.

Sing a variety of songs about farm animals including;

  1. Old McDonald had a farm
  2. I went to visit a farm one day
  3. 5 Little ducks
