Farm Animals Play Set

Details

Cowabunga! Ewe wool never stop horsin' round with these baa'd  wooden farm animals. The farm animals play set sparks imaginative play. Each of the eight farm animal figures is printed with the animal's name on one side and its vocal sound on the other. For example, there is sheep on one side of the wooden sheep, and I say baa on the other. It comes with a storage box, so the pieces stay together.

You'll also find a 3D pop-up of a farmyard barn. The barn slides into a slot inside the display and storage case. This allows for classic animal in and out play. The farm animals play set teaches the names and sounds of farm animals. Manipulating the thick wooden pieces supports fine motor skill development in toddlers and preschoolers. Moo-ving, isn't it?

Developmental Value

In this farm play set, the animals and 3D backdrop encourage dramatic play, imagination and storytelling. Pretend play is a natural way for children to safely break through a reality barrier of an adult world that creates vulnerability. They learn about themselves and the world, their interests and abilities.

Play sets provide an excellent opportunity for relationship building with an adult in teamwork and support. Adults can model the art of creative story crafting.

The large chunky puzzle parts support fine motor skills of clutching and manipulating pieces.

Early reading skills begin with recognizing simple words like the names and sounds on these farm animals.

Play sets can be a great tool for building attention span in young children if they remain focused. Younger children often require parental attention. Older children can participate in associative play with another child.

Because there is a carrying tray, this play set can be used as a travel toy for activities away from home.
