Learning About Farm Animals in Preschool

ON THE FARM PRESCHOOL ACTIVITIES

EXPANDING VOCABULARY WORDS IN PRESCHOOL AND EXPOSING CHILDREN TO A GREATER WORLD ARE IMPORTANT OBJECTIVES TO IMPROVE PRE-READING SKILLS.

Whether you live right on the edge of farmland like us or live in an urban area, it’s important for young children to learn about farm animals and the part that they play in our lives.

On the farm we’re taught at a young age about the way life works. In preschool, farm animals are a great place to start understanding the bigger picture of their purpose in our lives. Watching animals birth, raise young, provide milk, and then eventually providing food. It’s a very natural process when you live on a farm.

But when you don’t live on a farm it can be hard to understand where food comes from. I’ve even met kids who have never seen a cow in person or compared the softness of cotton balls to a real sheep! These are the kind of kids who have the potential to grow up thinking that their food is manufactured in some magic lab rather than grown on a farm.

Farm animal activities for preschool and kindergarten spark conversations about the ways that farms provide for us in age appropriate ways.

• What do cows/pigs/sheep provide for us?
• Do you have a garden?
• Would you want to be a farmer?
• What do the animals need every day?
