Inside: This barn and farm animals printable can be used in a variety of ways during the farm theme. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers!
Toddlers and preschoolers love the song “Old MacDonald Had a Farm”, so I’ve created props that can be used at circle time or in small groups.
Each activity mentioned below gets children involved in the song while learning how to recognize different farm animals and the sounds they make.

Make 1 copy of the barn and make enough copies of the animals so that each child has one.
Before introducing this activity to your toddlers and preschoolers, cut the animals out of the printable and hide around the room. (For best results, copy onto heavy paper or laminate.)
Next, place the barn printable in a visible spot on the floor, such as your circle time area.
Now, tell the children that the barn is empty. Where did the animals go?
Explain that they are each going to find 1 animal and take it back to the barn.
As each child finds an animal, remind them to place it on top of the barn.
The activity finishes when all of the farm animals have been found.
Rather than hide the animals, hand each child an animal to hold.
Explain that you are going to sing Old MacDonald Had a Farm, and when a child has the animal that is mentioned, they place it in the barn.
Do this until all the animals have been mentioned in the song and placed on the farm.
Circle time activities are always more fun with props!
What you will need:
Assembling the farm stick puppets:
After cutting each animal from the printable, glue it onto a craft stick.
Remember to make enough for each child involved. In this case, I doubled the copies to make 12 stick puppets:
Tell the children that when you call out their animal during the song, they are to hold their animal up high.
Make sure each animal is mentioned in the song.
Stephanie, a member of our Teaching Toddlers and Preschoolers group, shared how she reduced the size of our farm animals a bit so that they would fit on her blocks. She then attached them and the children had fun using them in her block area!
