I thought that S had some farm toys but after searching through her playroom and only coming up with a couple of horses, I realized that all her farm toys were at her grandma’s.
Then I remember that S’s sand/water table came with farm animals and a tractor. Score!
We went outside and S started setting up the farm on her sand/water table. We added some grass and rocks, too.
Then S decided we needed to go to our garden and pick some food for the animals. The farmer chose peas and S opened the pod and removed the peas to add to her small world.
Next S decided we needed a pond for the ducks, so we added a small bowl of water for them to float in.
S had lots of fun moving the animals around the farm, driving the tractor on the edge of the water/sand table and feeding the animals.
How does your child like to play with their farm toys?
Joshua is just getting into the pretend play and its so lovely to see 🙂
thanks for linking up with #MagicMoments
i love seeing where kids’ imaginations will take them!
Love this. I can’t wait until my son is a little older and starts to do more pretend play. Great use of the water tray too.
Thank you for the kind words, Emma
I love this idea!! I could see my little ones having fun for hours with something like this. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 Pinning.
Thank you for your kind words Laurie! I hope your kids have fun.
This is cute. We’ve just begun “learning” about farm animals. We have lots of books about them as well as puzzles and other toys. The best experience we had with them was at the petting zoo at the pumpkin patch back in the fall where my daughter fell in love with the pigs. I can’t wait for another opportunity like that.
Tiffiny that sounds like a lot of fun! We love petting zoo too.
I can leave my son in the living room and he would play by himself and I will hear different voices. Him making stories =) Toys are so helpful. #countrykids
Creative farm play – a great opportunity for S to use her own imagination and have some lovely child led play outdoors. Thanks for linking up and sharing her fun with Country Kids.
Sand and water tables come in handy for so many things #countrykids
It’s so lovely to see children’s imaginations come alive. The farm table looks brilliant..we haven’t got anything like this but I’m considering in investing in something similar they can have in the garden x
