Who lives on the farm spinner craft for preschoolers and older kids

This farm animal craft is a great tool for little ones to learn some of the animals that live on the farm. Once you’re done with the craft, talk about other animals. Make a list and see how many animals you can come up with.

It’s an easy coloring craft for preschoolers and older kids. You can use it in the classroom, if you are a teacher, or at home with your kiddos. You don’t need much for it but it will keep little ones engaged for a while.

With just paper, colored pencils or markers, scissors and glue, you can create a game for kids to learn names and sounds of common farm friends.

Easy Who lives on the farm spinner craft

The cover of the “Who lives on the farm?” spinner craft features a barn on one side and a smiling sun over a fence – yes, there is a happy day on the farm.

The spinner reveals five of the animals that you will find while visiting a farm:

  • sheep
  • rooster
  • cow
  • horse
  • pig

The template comes with two options: one with words on both cover and spinner and one without, in case you want to let the kids write the name of the farm animals or you want to use the craft with another language than English.

This craft was inspired by our “Who lives in the ocean?” spinner craft.

For more farm animal crafts try our cow craft – a cow chewing on her own flower – or our paper cup sheep craft, an adorable three-dimensional project. Make a whole flock, or use them as place cards for a party or dinner!

Farm animal fun facts

Here are some fun facts about the farm animals featured in our craft:

  • Cows sleep only about four hours per day but they spend about 10-12 hours laying down to relax.
  • Roosters are protective and take care of the flock of hens. If danger is in view, he will warn the rest to stay close to him and be vigilant.
  • Pigs are among the smartest animals, being able to recognize their name, play games and use tools.
  • Sheep don’t have top front teeth.
  • Horses are able to sleep standing up but they do lay down once in a while for deeper sleep.
