After it has dried, use the box cutter to cut a door and window in the carton. When the door and window are cut out the child may complete the barn by painting the roof black and outlining the door and window in black. Ahead of time prepare chicken cut outs. Have children paint glue on the chickens and add feathers. When dry, children can glue to construction paper and then glue bird seed or cornmeal to the bottom of the page for chicken feed.
Chicks Cut large chicks out of fingerpaint paper.
Allow the children to paint them yellow. Provide black bingo-dabbers for the children to make spots on their cows. Have the children glue their cows onto blue construction paper. The next day, when the cows are dry, take the children, their pictures, and glue outside to a grassy area. Talk to the children about how cows like to eat grass.
