Look for other children's books about the farm in the Resource Chapter. The Sensory Table can be filled with ear corn for the children to shuck in the fall. Be certain non of the children in the classroom have allergies to corn dust or molds. Try beans or rice with small toy farm animals or toy farm vehicles. This activity may not be appropriate for children under two or three years old.
Children can use measuring utensils to measure grain as they pour it into containers.
Purchase a bag of potting soil and place in the sensory table. Add small plastic toy pigs to hide under the dirt. In the Art Center, set up a shallow tray with potting soil. Children can make marks, draw, write, or model in the mud. Create vegetables with play dough.
