Farm Activity Kit
This month we are down on the farm with the farm animals! Writing practice, cutting, sticking, and playing with new characters—this kit has it all. And, with a beautiful farm sensory tray, this month’s farm craft kit is guaranteed to be udderly brilliant!
All our activities are specially designed to support the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, including fine motor skills, creating with materials, and being imaginative and expressive.
We take the overwhelm away so you don’t have to think of ideas to keep your little one busy. Every activity kit for children comes fully prepared and straight to your door so you can get making straight away.
Each farm craft kit includes everything you need for 1 or 2 Mini Makers to make —
• Chicken - Did you know that a chicken lays around 265 eggs each year? How many eggs do you need to write your name? Let's count and add them to decorate your chicken.
• Scarecrow - This activity requires a bit of everything: cutting, sticking and gluing, which supports their fine motor skills. Plus it's great for their sense of touch, with lots of textures too.
• Farm Animals - It's time to make yourself a whole set of farm animals based on triangles. Together you can make a sheep, cow and horse to play with later - which character is your favourite?
• Farm Sensory Tray - This amazing sensory tray gives your child an opportunity to learn about the lifecycle of a chicken, while you are enjoying your hot cup of tea...
Mini Makers Like Learning
Our kits are developed by an early years practitioner with over 20 years of experience in line with the EYFS Framework. This means the activities are thoughtfully put together to encourage confident, able children who will thrive in their nursery or school; making them open to learning and new tasks, problem solving, and imaginative play.
Mini Makers are Bright
Crafting activates all of your child’s senses, which are essential to help them understand the world they are growing up in. New pathways are formed in their brain each time your child tries an activity.
Mini Makers are Strong
Making stuff is amazing for their gross and fine motor skills. Little muscles become stronger the more they practice. It also helps develop their coordination and with using opposite sides of their brain, for example when they hold something with one hand and use scissors with the other.
Mini Makers are Happy
Creative and sensory activities are great tools for calming anxious or frustrated little ones. Making also creates a safe space for expression and open conversation.
Mini Makers’ Grown-Ups are Happy
We take the overwhelm away so you don’t have to think of ideas to keep your little one busy. Every activity kit for children comes fully prepared and straight to your door so you can get making straight away.
It’s a wonderful way to spend quality time with your child—and rewarding when you see how proud they are of their creations!
(Plus, sensory activities have been known, up and down the country, to give grown-ups enough time for a hot cuppa).
