This collection of 4 farm songs for kids will come in very handy to help teach young children all about what to expect down at the farm. There’s a counting song, a circle game and plenty of opportunity for imaginative movement and animal impressions!
One of the best things about Spring is the arrival of all the baby animals. It’s the perfect time of year to go and visit a local farm and see all their new arrivals. The kids will love seeing the sheep with their fluffy lambs and mummy pigs nursing their little piglets.
