1. Carrot Alphabet Hunt – Old MacDonald had a farm, and he was picking carrots. The farmer needs some help to find the carrots with the letters he’s looking for. This includes 26 pages of a carrot alphabet hunt.

2. Count and match the chicken eggs – The chickens are laying eggs. Count the eggs on the ten frames and place them on the matching card. You can add the ten frames to the tip of a peg to add on some fine motor hand strengthening too. I then had my daughter place the correct number of eggs into the basket. We used cotton balls as “eggs.”

Children will work on counting, math, literacy, and fine motor skills.

3. Uppercase to Lowercase Alphabet Matching Hay Bales – The farmyard takes a lot of work, and the animals need some help. Match the uppercase and lowercase hay bales to help the animals get things moving along.

4. Farm Measurement – These animals are growing. Use a tool of your choice to measure the animals. You can use counting cubes, measuring worms, candy corn pieces, mini erasers, and more.

5. The Duck Pond

Use the duck pond and the ducks in the pond counting cards to add the correct number of ducks to the pond. You can use the paper ducks I included or use rubber ducks like I did below.

While you’re at it, now is a good time to sing and do some Five Little Ducks Song Activities. They are the perfect addition to these farm activities for preschool.

6. Duck Addition and subtraction – Have a child who is ready for some more addition and subtraction? Place the correct number of ducks on the pond and minus or add them as per the cards. Then use a magnetic number or if the cards are laminated write the correct number.

7. Farmyard Counting – Here is another activity that works on math skills You can use the included paper animals or farm animal toys. The included cards tells you how many animals to add to the farm yard.

8. Farm Play Dough Mats – Create the farm animal faces using play dough. Create a pig, chicken, and more! Play dough is great for sensory play.

9. Farm Color Matching – Match the animal colors to the correct barn. This activity includes paper animals and can also be used with farm animal counters.

10. Farm alphabet letters – Laminate this activity. Then identify the letter, it’s sound, and the matching word that begins with that sound.
Then trace the letters on the farm with a dry eraser marker. You can also build the letter using magnetic discs, paper clips, candy corn, mini apple erasers, and more.

12. Build a fence – Make your very own fence using the included template. A parent or teacher can hot glue the pieces together if you’d like to use them for play.

11. Create the farm animal with pattern blocks – Each mat includes a build the animal with pattern blocks section, trace the word, identify the shapes that you used, and find the matching animals.

13. Mommy and baby linking activity – Match the mom farm animals to the baby farm animals. You can use links to connect them and work those hands. Alternatively, just place the animals next to each other. Toddlers love this activity! They will learn the names of the adult farm animals as well as the names of the baby farm animals.

14. How many spots does the cow have?

Use the cow counting cards to identify how many spots are on the cow. Then use the blank cow to create the right amount of spots. You can do this with play dough, black pom poms, or a dry erase marker.
