Today, I am sharing this easy-to-put-together farm busy box, perfect for spelling, threading and matching practice!
What you need:
- A compartment box of some sort
- Letter beads
- Farm animal beads
- Pipecleaners
- Farm animal names printed and laminated(cut and added to a ring if you wish)
Older kids can choose a name on one of the cards, read it, then find that animal and also spell the name of the animal.
Younger kids can simply find the matching animal friends, or only look for the beginning sound of the names of the animals.
A simple busy box, but guarenteed to be fun, AND with an educational twist too!
Come see what other kid bloggers did with thisfarm theme activity.
