We all know how cute farm animals are. We also know that farm animals can get real muddy too. I chose this activity to do with the children because we have been learning the farm animal names and the sounds they make. So I thought this would be a great activity for them to do.
What You Will Need
One bucket with sand, farm animals, a bucket of soap water, a scrub brush, a bucket of water, and then a dry bucket.
First you start of with letting the child play what ever farm animal they want from the muddy sand pin.
Then let them put their farm animal in the wash bucket and let them scrub a dub and wash the animals the animals until they are all clean
Once they are squeaky clean its time to rinse the soaps suds off by taking a dip in the water.
After they are done rinsing the animals it is time for them to dry off. So fresh and clean!!!
This activity turned out to be a lot of fun for the children. They loved playing with the sand and water and playing the role of a caregiver towards an animal. This activity helps build their sensory skills and fine motor skills. I would extended this activity but switch it to in the kitchen an the children would be able to wash, rinse, and dry their very own dishes..
