What is a Farm for Preschoolers?

Farm activities include those involved in rearing livestock and growing crops. A farm is a large piece of land used for such activities.

Since many preschoolers have little connection to farm life, try to teach preschoolers about farming by sharing pictures of farmland, barns, farm animals, and tractors. Be sure to read lots and lot of farm books for preschoolers, too! (We have a bunch listed in this post).

When describing a farm to my preschoolers, I might say something like this:

A farm is a special place where farmers grow plants and take care of animals. Picture a big piece of land with fields full of tall plants like corn and wheat. Farmers plant these seeds and make sure they get plenty of sunlight and water so they can grow big and strong.

On the farm, you’ll find animals like cows, pigs, chickens, and goats. They live in a cozy barn, a bit like a big house for animals, where they sleep and stay safe. Farmers feed these animals and make sure they’re happy and healthy.
