Thanks to our featured brands for providing samples for my review. All thoughts are my own.
Old McDonald had a farm... and brought it to my house! I am all too familiar with the sights and sounds of farm life. My mom's parents had a 100-acre farm in Missouri, and I have lots of wonderful memories of time spent on their big farm as a child. Fast-forward to adulthood, I have a seven and two-year-old, and they both love animals! Unfortunately, allergies keep us from being able to have pets, but we love to bring in lots of animals through toys and imaginative activities!
The Fun of the farm without the mess!
Isn't it nice to know that you can have the fun of the farm at home without the smell or mess? We're big fans of fun learning toys, and my sweet little Bean loves animals. Combine the two, and you have lots of wonderful options to help your kiddos learn all about farm animals right at home!

A fun and educational gift for little hands!
My little learner loves animals, and she has really gotten into building lately. We love this toy from one of our favorite educational toy brands- Learning Resources! With 17 pieces of fun, littles can stack, remove, build again, spin and turn all of the gear pieces. This is perfect for individual play or for sharing. Bean and I have made up a game where we turn the animal gears round and round, and then sing songs like Old MacDonald, etc. She absolutely loves making the animal sounds and watching these little toy animals spin around. For those with real chickens at home, stock up on chick feed for those chics. Live chickens can be a wonderful educational experience for the family.
A trip to the barnyard is just a few spins away with the Build & Spin: Farm Friends from Learning Resources. This portable playset’s sturdy base comes with spaces for eight chunky gears complete with friendly, farm-themed toppers: a smiling pig, prancing horse, newborn chick, spotted cow, toothy rabbit, bearded goat, jumping sheep, and big red barn. Each kid-sized piece snaps securely into place, allowing kids to work on their fine motor skills as they construct and deconstruct their mix-and-match playset. When they’re not imagining themselves down on the farm, learning new vocabulary words, or building up the muscles needed for fine motor control, kids can pass countless minutes twisting and turning Build & Spin: Farm Friends’ colorful gears, which provide an exciting hands-on lesson in the concept of cause and effect. Unlike the actual barnyard, this playset is also easy to clean and take on the go.

A Petting Zoo in Your Home!
Littles can discover shapes, sizes, and textures through this adorable game!
With a ton of board games with tiny pieces at our house, it's been hard to find games that are age appropriate for Bean. She wants to play with all of her older brother's games, but she's just not quite old enough to grasp the game concepts or not to throw the small pieces all over the room when we play- resulting in lost pieces and an upset big bro.
This is an adorable 'first game' for toddlers. It comes in a cute little barnyard (petting zoo), with a textured spinner and textured animals. It's the perfect game for parent and child, and helps kiddos learn how to take turns, share, and works with them on developing other important skills!
Get ready for some family fun on the farm with a touch and feel matching game made just for toddlers!
Product Features:
- The game includes Petting Zoo, 6 textured animals, and textured spinner.
- For 2 players
Age range: 2-4 Years
