I had a lot of stuff planned for today. Months and months could be spent doing a farm theme and I packed our Farmers theme into one day, but I plan to do farm animals individually with time. We did have a great time talking about Farmers. I hope this day is enjoyable to look through.
Gathering Time:
Use Farming Puppets to explain what farmers do, the machines they can use, and animals on the farm.
Read “Click Clack Moo Cows that Type”
by Doreen CroninRead “Cock-a-doodle-doo Barnyard Hullabaloo
” by Giles Andreae and David WojtowyczSing “If I Were a Farmer”
Sing “Old McDonald had a farm”- I used the visuals I already had, but check out this super cute idea from Oopsey Daisy for her Old McDonald visuals.
Johnny’s Barn- online story
Sing “Old McDonald”
Watch “Baby Einstein: Baby MacDonald- A Day on the Farm
”Focus Activities:
Animal Silhouette Matching Game
Other Possibilities:
Farmer and other animals (rainbow shapes)

Heather, thank you SO much for linking me, and for your sweet comments. I absolutely idolize all the fun activities you do, and I actually review them all the time as I come up with my Mommy School weeks. I am hoping to do a farm week in a month or so, so I will be coming back to borrow some ideas! Thanks SO much!
