Having children with a range of ages and stages of development means it’s really great to find something that is not only fun but also safe for everyone to play with!

Then we added some large shredded wheat to represent hay bales and some sprigs of rosemary for greenery. You can skip out the last two items if you want to focus just on the muddy play element! We aded them for some extra imaginative play fun and to make it even more like a farm-yard scene.
Next to this tub we set up a clean water station in another container, with some washing up liquid (dish soap) to make the bubbles and a washing up brush and cloth, ready for cleaning the animals up.
I initially set this up for my littlest two who are 4 and 1. Of course I should have realised that my 7 and 6 year olds would completely adore this too as they always love sensory play! I’m pretty sure it’s vital for development at all ages, and they certainly proved that with their interest and enthusiasm!
Farm Activities For Toddlers
They played with the animals in the mud, giving them a good dipping and mud bath, then transferred them to the clean water to scrub them up nice and clean and fresh again!
Baby boy loved the water even more than the “mud”, although he did enjoy licking his fingers when he discovered they tasted so delicious too!
This sensory play activity would be absolutely awesome to go in conjunction with any farm-yard story or favourite animal song. I love the old picture book Mrs Wishy Washy (do you remember this from your own school days?!) and it is a perfect match for this!

Another, more recent firm favourite is 10 Dirty Pigs/ 10 Clean Pigs. This is such a cute story because it flips over up-side-down half way through and goes from dirty to clean in a continuous cycle (if you keep on flipping and reading again that is!) Kids adore this magical twist and think it’s so funny that the pigs roll in the mud then get clean, over and over again!
