Students will get opportunities to work on fine-motor skills while creating farm scenes with play dough, using clothespins, drawing and writing.
QR code-enabled conversation & inquiry-based task cards are included. When scanned, the QR codes will read the task cards for the students allowing for independent exploration. Some questions have a definitive answer such as “Which farmer is the tallest?” and some have more open-ended explorations, such as “Which farmer is different? Why?” This question has multiple answers: the girl is different because the other two are boys, the boy without the pitchfork is different because the other two have pitchforks, or whatever other differences the students can find.

I highly recommend printing on card stock and/or laminating most pieces for durability. The farm scenery will not be as useful if it is not laminated. Detailed instructions for assembling the 3-D barn are included.
