Bring The Farm Indoors
How many times have you had to sing the "Old MacDonald" song to your children? If you are anything like the millions of other parents in homes across the country, then the chances are pretty good that you have had to sing it over and over again. You may even be able to recite all of the lyrics in your sleep because you know them so well. When you live in an area of the country that does not have any farmland that you can bring your children to, you can always bring the farm to them indoors!
Yes, although it sounds a bit funny, you can simulate farm life within the comfort of your own home with the Jumbo Farm Animals set. This set crafted by Learning Resources is a magnificent way to interact with your children while showing them all about some of the different animals that can be found on just about any farm. You can even set up your very own barnyard on the table while you help them learn all about the sounds that the various animals make as well as all of the contributions that they make during everyday life on the farm.
Talk with your children and let them know how the cows provide milk and the rooster wakes up early in the morning to get everyone else up as well. Then, you can show them the cute pink pig, the sheep with a full coat of wool, the goat with horns, and the majestic horse. Add to that the wonderful goose and you are going to have a terrific time with pretend play on the farm along with your kids.
