Preschool Garden Craft – Pretend Play

My kiddos can’t stop playing with these pretend play gardens that we made with pool noodles and burlap. You can use food toys, or I included printable food in the set.

Farm Fence Patterns Craft

Patterns are an important preschool skill. For this activity, children get to copy fence patterns with colored craft sticks. They can also practice continuing the pattern and then making some of their own.

Paper Bag Farmer Hat Craft

We had the best time making these paper bag farmer hats. They are super simple to make.

1. Flip a paper grocery bag inside out.
2. Roll up the edges and shape the hat.
3. Print, color, and glue on the Farmer Badge from this set.
4. You can also add a ribbon if you’d like.

MacDonald’s Farm Animal Puppets

I love this fun twist on the Old MacDonald song. In our version, he has a barn, and we’re counting finger puppet animals into it.

Pigs in the Mud Counting

Kids LOVE mud. It’s just their thing, and this gives them a little chance to play in it. You can have a bin of actual mud with a cleaning station, or turn some brown playdough into your mud puddle.

Count and Corral Farm Animals

I build the craft stick fence pieces for this activity beforehand. The children got to add playdough to the base and build their own counting corrals. So fun!!

Picking Corn Garden Counting

Pick the corn in this fun farm math activity. You can use actual corn kernels for some fun sensory play or popcorn for a preschool snacktivity.

Peas in the Pod Counting

Here’s another activity where you could use actual peas and snack on them afterward or use something sensory like playdough.

Preschool Garden Counting Activities

We loved this seed counting activity for our preschool farm theme. You can choose the actual seeds of the listed plants if you’d like. I opted for pumpkin seeds because they are large and easy for small hands to handle.

Picking Berries Farm Counting

We used pom poms for this activity, but alternately you could use actual berries and use them for healthy snacktime after math time is over.

Letter Sheep Find & Cover Game

Toy letters turn this sheep-themed letter hunt into a fun find game. We used cotton balls as our markers.

Tractor Tire Letter Match

This activity works well as a file folder game or you can simply place magnetic letters over the tire if you want to simplify.

Barn Sight Words

For kids that are starting to write, this is an amazing writing center. They can trace their sight words and then try writing it on their own.

Farm Letter Sensory Bin

Sensory bins are a must in preschool and for farm week we like to use corn. For this bin, we hid our letters in the corn and used hands or toy tools to dig and rake them out.

Farm Egg Color Sorting Activity

Color matching is a great way to use those leftover Easter eggs. We made our hen’s nest out of a planter from the dollar store and leftover Easter grass.

Farm Animals Preschool Writing Center

Place these vocabulary strips up in your writing center. Let kids pull out a pencil or crayon and a sheet of paper on a clipboard to practice writing out the farm words.

In addition to the hands-on math centers above, we also created 15 fun preschool farm worksheets for you. These worksheets include tracing, cut and paste, sorting, and more.
