Last week Vito had a great time learning about farm animals. I find it quite fascinating how my kids can easily learn a concept just by using animal figures. It took me years to convince myself to invest in these animal toy figures. We didn’t have them till Mavi was 3 years old. Vito is lucky enough to be able to play with these at a very young age. So from reading books and making sounds, I leveled up the learning approach to widen his vocabulary, learn phonic sounds, practise logic and more.
Here are Vito’s TOP 6 farm animal activities:
Farm Animals Unit Beginning Letter Sounds
Identifying the beginning letter sound of each animals.
Materials used: Hape Alphabet Puzzle, farm animal toy figures (Schleich Farm Animals)
Farm Animals Unit Rooster Craft
Read about this activity here, Simple Rooster Craft.
Farm Animals Unit Pouring, Transferring and Scooping Fruits
Vito enjoyed this a lot! He loves pouring the fruits here and there! I was even surprised that he can identify the apple even if it’s green color!
I suggest you use a mat, tray or rug when you work on this so that the fruits will not roll on the floor.
Farm Animals Unit Pig Mud Play
Materials used: pig figures from Safari Toobs, chocolate yogurt, spoon (he wouldn’t want to use his hand)

Farm Animals Unit Sheep and the Wool
I mentioned in my Rooster Craft that Vito loves using glue. So we did work on the sheep craft and used cotton balls as wool.

I love your chocolate mud idea. I must admit that I haven't included food in our themed activities. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWelcome! It was just actually an accidental activity :D
DeleteThis is such a creative and sweet toddler unit study! I love the wool for the sheep and the bright colored fruit transfer. :)
ReplyDeleteThe wool was inspired by Mavi's school and we love the fruit counter as well :D
