Bull measures 6 1/4"L x 4 1/4"H. Calf measures 3 1/2"L x 2 1/4"H.

The animal families represented are:

  • Horse - stallion, mare, foal
  • Pig - boar, sow, piglet
  • Cattle - bull, cow, calf
  • Chicken - rooster, hen, two chicks

Children can engage in a variety of learning experiences:

Math

Work together with children to make a fenced in area for the animals. The area can be in the shape of a square, rectangle, or triangle.

Introduce words such as in/out and over/under as children have animals jump over the fence and walk in and out of the fenced area.

Dramatic Play

Demonstrate and then invite children to join in mooing like a cow, neighing like a horse, oinking like a pig, and clucking like a chicken.

Language/Literacy

When referring to specific animals, first use the general term, then introduce the gender/age specific terms listed on the opposite side.

Science

Discuss each of the animal’s natural food preferences:

Horse - grass, grain, hay, and oats

Cattle - grass and hay

Pig - leaves, grass, and bugs

Chicken - bugs, worms, and small leaves

Art

Identify the colors of the animals and encourage children to represent (paint, draw, etc.) them on paper.

Music

Sing farm animal songs (Old MacDonald or Farmer in the Dell) while playing in small groups. Children can choose to use the animals as props or just sing along.
