Noisy Farm

Draw a farm picture with "speech" bubbles.

Materials

  • Drawing supplies

Directions

With your child, draw a picture of a farm you would like to visit. It can have ordinary or unusual animals, crops, and vehicles. Add speech balloons for the animals and vehicles, containing the sounds they make. Sing a variation of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" using your child's name and the animals, vehicles, and sounds shown in the picture.

Talk About It

Just what do dogs say? "Woof! Ruff! Bow-wow! Ow-ow-ow-ooh!" and lots more. Together, think of and imitate the different sounds pigs, chickens, horses, and other animals make.
