Nesting & Sorting Barns & Animals – 12 Pieces Discounts School Supply for a better health & smart kid
A farm full of stacking, counting, hide and seek, mix and match and tons of imaginative play!
This charming play set lets little ones build a farm scene filled with bright red barns with an animal for every barn
The barn’s front panel features doors sized to fit their animal occupants
The barn’s back panel features a full-color scene showing the animal in an outdoor setting
Animals can be paired, reinforcing early learning concepts
Children can also pair numbers on the barns and animal to put together the correct pairs, reinforcing early learning concepts as they play
Help the child place the animals in numerical order. Then ask the child to put each animal in the numbered barn that matches.
Place the wooden animals in a line for the child to study. Then, while the child looks away, hide one of the animals inside a barn. Ask the child to tell you who is in the barn by looking at the remaining animals. Then allow the child to lift the barn away for the big reveal!
Line up the animals on the play surface, and point to each one as you name its color. Then name a color and ask the child to point to all the animals that have that color on their bodies.
Challenge the child to stack two or more of the animals. Talk with the child about what animals are best for stacking, and why. Experiment with different ways to stack the pieces (on their backs, on their sides, and so on).
Use the barns to create a farm scene. You can create groupings where some animals live close to each other, spread the barns far apart to represent separate farms, or alternate the barns (some facing forward, some facing backward) to create pastures and fields between the buildings. Add other play pieces to the scene if you wish, and get creative!
