When it comes to preschool farm activities, we’ve got you covered! You will LOVE all the free printables that are packed with learning and FUN!

Fall is the perfect time for a fun farm theme unit in preschool.

What with all of the farmers harvesting in September and October and the heavy farm machinery out to work in the fields every day, the preschoolers go ga-ga over it!

It’s always a topic of conversation in circle time or during table games, which is fine by me as it is almost as though my preschoolers are planning my farm unit for me!

(How convenient, right?)

To help bring the wonderful world of farms into your homes and classrooms, I have created Preschool Farm Literacy and Math Centers. These hands-on centers pair wonderfully with all of your farm activities for toddlers and preschoolers!

Both toddlers and preschoolers will adore this colorful farm animal sorting activity. They get to sort in three different ways: by color, size, and type of animal.

Using picture books to teach a farm theme to preschoolers offers several benefits.

They enhance language development by introducing new vocabulary and encouraging discussions about farm life. Picture books can stimulate curiosity and a love for reading, setting a strong love of learning.
