Below is a summary of all the play and learning we have done for the past week or so. Following this post I will post more details and lesson plans. We also hosted a playdate with the Farm Theme. All that is listed below was out for the playdate.
What is a farm? A Farm is where we grow crops (veggies, fruit, grain) and/or livestock.
We visited a Farm
We went out to Adams Acres Farm to picked Blueberries. See more photos here.
And I displayed pictures of our visit where he plays so we could continue to talk about our experience.
Books
Our art lessons and theme were based on the following Barefoot Books:

Food
Blueberries Muffins and Blueberries! YUM! Connecting our visit to the farm with the food we eat.
You have several cute ideas here. May I ask where you found the pictures you put on your magnet board or if you made them yourself. I love the idea of using those on the magnet board with the magnet pom poms.

Hi Laura,
Yes, I drew the magnet board images myself. I hope to have some more for the new zoo/safari theme I am working on posted soon.
Thanks for stopping by!
What a great exploration of the farm theme. I love these ideas. Thanks for sharing at Discover & Explore this week.
