Dramatic Play Children might like to pretend to be some of their favorite farm animals and pretend to live in the large cardboard barn they created.

Puppy play was very popular at one of our preschool sites. The children would negotiate who would be the puppy and the master each day. Another preschool class, after visiting a pumpkin patch, decided to give hay rack rides with their small wagons. Straw was put in the wagon and the children took turns being the horse and pulling other children around. There are many children's books on the farm topic.
