Have kids draw a farm animal on fabric with fabric markers or paints. Cut out basic shape of the animal, leaving about an inch of extra fabric around the outline. Cut out a second piece of fabric to match. Sew right sides together leaving a 1-2″ gap. Turn right side out, stuff and sew up the gap. You child now has a self made stuffy.

I have two different ideas that I’m going to try and do with the kids. I hope we get to do at least one of the activities. First is to go to one of our local petting farms during ‘milking time’ for the kids to see a cow being milked. We have seen this before but it is always fun. The other is to visit one of our historical communities in the area and see butter being churned. We just visited one last weekend and got to see glass being blown… Bug was fascinated.
No, not I. For if I do he’s sure to cry.
Little Boy Blue
Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn;
The sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn.
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
He’s under a haystack, fast asleep.
Will you wake him?
