we are doing a farm theme in May and I want to put somthing in the tuff spot to represent a farm but would like some ideas please,, did think of farm animals with grass and make some barns out of boxes but any other ideas would be much appriciated please

soil & toy tractors?

sunflower seeds for them to plant in the soil (not to grow, just to stick in the soil)

lollipop stick road signs (weighted down on a lump of plasticine) pointing to the different animals or parts of the farm

fences made from lollipop sticks

damp cotton wool to sprink cress seeds on for quick growing "grass", the scissors to cut it & put in a toy tractor & trailer

Lolly stick fences, blue plastic for duck pond or plastic mirror, straw for barn, mud for pig sty, leafy twigs for little trees, little tractor, other vehicles, Sing old macdonald, talk about what food comes from the farm, how it is grown, harvested, seasons for this. Count and sort animals into their area of farm, talk about jobs done on the farm, match baby animals to big animals with names.....

You could try and get some artificial grass from the greengrocers and cut to the shape of your tuff spot.

There are some lovely farm activities and crafts here

Ooh yes, artificial grass. If you google free samples of artificial grass you'll find places that send them to you :thumbsup:
