Use these farm crafts for kids to learn all about Old McDonald and the animals that live on a farm. These are a great craft that can be followed up with a visit to a local farm.
We all remember learning about farm animals with the famous "Old MacDonald", here's a great way to incorporate crafts into that song - and into learning about farm animals.
Help the kids learn the sounds these animals make as they actually create the animals.
These are great learning tools, but can also be used as toys to play with afterwards. Some fun farm animal puppets!

These farm crafts for kids will help you learn what animals make these sounds?
Which animal makes that noise?
We use it's fur for clothing and many other things. They are tiny and fluffy, until we shave their coat. But no worries, they just grow a new one.
Stretch apart a few cotton balls, take small pieces and ball them up. In essence we are making tiny cotton balls. Glue those tiny cotton balls all around the toilet paper roll.
Gllue googly eyes onto a larger black pom pom. Glue this on the cotton balls.
Glue four smaller pom poms onto the bottom of the toilet paper roll for feet.
Good job! You guessed it, that noise is a sheep! And now you have created one too!
Next sound belongs to a little bigger of an animal.
This one is black and white, and gives us yummy milk!
Cut out a strip of white paper (as wide as your toilet paper roll). Using black marker, draw spots all over the white paper.
Glue this paper around your toilet paper roll.
Create a head and tail out of white paper as well. Create spots with your black marker again.
Glue googly eyes to the face and glue the head on one side of the body, and the tail on the opposite.
Glue four black pom poms to the bottom for its feet.
Add some pink in its ears and a smile, for added details.
What Animal Is It? "And on his farm he had a cow . . . with a moo moo here . . . and a moo moo there"
Next up a little smellier of the farm animals.
Although it's smelly, and lives in a pigpen... still cute farm crafts for kids!
Cut a strip of pink construction paper, as wide as your toilet paper roll. Glue this around the roll.
Cut out a head from the pink construction paper. Glue on googly eyes and add a snout and smile.
Glue this on one side of the roll.
Curl a piece of pink construction around a pencil. Once it is nice and curly, glue it to the opposite side of the roll, for your piggy tail.
Glue four pink pom poms to the bottom of the roll for its feet.
What Animal Is It? That's right! A little piggy!
Our last farm crafts for kids critter is full of feathers and usually a little more noisy than the rest! They also give us tasty eggs for our breakfast.
Cut out a strip of yellow paper, as wide as your toilet paper roll. Glue this around the roll.
Cut out another strip of yellow, this time cut feather shapes out of one end. Glue it to the back of the roll.
Create two feet out of a pipe cleaner, glue these to the bottom. Also, bend a V shape from another small piece of the pipe cleaner and glue this for a beak.
Glue googly eyes above the beak.
Also, cut two wings out of yellow paper and glue one to each side.
What Animal Is It? Our furry chicken friend! That's right!
These crafts are great when followed up by a trip to a real farm. Then the kids get to see the real animals.
If your kids are not as familiar with farm animals take them to the farm first, then have them create!
Piggy Bank: Turn an empty water bottle into your very own piggy bank to save all your change.
Spring Chick: Again, recycling for crafts! Use some egg cartons to make baby birds still in their eggs.
Squid Pencil Holder: Step out of the barn, and into the sea with our squid pencil holder.
All of these little farm crafts for kids can be modified for any farm animal. But with this we've created all the characters in "Old McDonald". Now, just create a little scenery of a farm.
