The cardboard base makes them easier to manipulate for little hands.įor older kids you could cut the pictures/cardboard into 3-4 pieces. You can cut diagonally, horizontally, vertically, or skiwampus! Whatever you want to do works! The goal is just to create simple farm animal puzzles. Once the glue is dry, cut the cardboard and image into two pieces to make simple cardboard puzzles. The piece of cardboard doesn't have to be perfectly cut. Once the animals (and objects- like the barn) are cut out, glue each picture onto a square piece of cardboard. I cut around the images but didn't do a really tight cut because I am all about keeping things easy and simple! Visible white borders are fine! To make the farm animal puzzle game you start by printing out the farm animal images and then cutting them out. This activity introduces a few of the basic animals you might have on a farm and teaches their names.

We've shared a few farm animal crafts and activities over the past few years and I am excited to dive in a bit deeper and share some awesome farm themed children's books as well this week! Put a glue dot on the back of each moth and place it on a tree or stump - hide all nine moths. You are going to hide paper moths for your students to find, and then your students will hide moths for you to find. Arrange the pieces on your wall to make trees and stumps, using glue dots or push pins to hold the paper in place.Then cut out the moths, following the instructions on the "Moths for Teachers" printouts. Cut out the pieces of each tree and stump by cutting on the dashed lines of the printouts.To make your trees and/or stumps, follow these steps: The activity works best if you have three different bark patterns, but if you don’t have enough space (or time) to make three trees, you can make one tree and two stumps. You can build your trees on an empty wall, a bulletin board, or on a door. Prepare Your Classroom Forest Before ClassĮach tree takes a wall space measuring about 32" wide by 55" tall (about the size of a door). You may want to organize or separate supplies for easier classroom distribution. For the other half of the cups, fill each about one-third full with dried beans “rocks.”Īt the start of the activity, each student needs a worksheet, “pointy beak,” “duck beak,” and “stomach cup.” Each group also needs a cup of “bird food.”Įach group will need a cup of “rocks” later in the activity.For half of the cups, fill each about one-third full with dried macaroni “bird food.”.One filled with model “bird food” and the other filled with model “rocks.” If you have hard floors, spread out a bath towel and tape down the corners.įor each group, you’ll need to prepare two cups.If you have a low-pile carpet, mark a 3’ x 3’ square with masking tape.Mark off a test area for each group of four students. Squeeze the sides together to make a beak.Make a matching cut on the other side of the cup.For half the Dixie cups, use scissors to make a cut from the lip to the base of the cup.You will use half of your Dixie cups to make “duck beaks.” Leave the other half of your Dixie cups whole as they will serve as “stomach cups” for students.Store your “beaks” in a cup so they stay folded.(If they aren’t, trim them with scissors.) Make sure that the ends of the straws are even.Make “Beaks”Įach student will need a “pointy beak” and a “duck beak” to experiment with. If your classroom has a smooth floor (such as linoleum), you’ll need a bath towel to serve as the work area for each group of 4 students.
