Sensory Activity for a Spring Animal Theme for Preschoolers

In the story, the jeep, sheep and pigs got very muddy.

In fact, most of the animals in spring will end up muddy as the snow and ice thaw and the spring rains arrive. So this Muddy Farm Animal Washing Activity is great for our spring animal theme with your preschoolers.

Spring Animal Themed Alphabet Activity

Our activity for spring animals is a beginning letter sound activity using our farm animals.

It's a great opportunity to introduce the baby animal names and the letters that they start with like sheep and lamb.

Math Activity for our Spring Animal Theme

This week we are working on number recognition and this fun Cow Themed Number Activity for your preschoolers.

We love that it's on the verticle but if you don't have wall space then why not place it on the floor as well.

Spring Animal Snack for Preschoolers

We're popping some corn and making Lamb Snack bags for our cooking activity this week.

Spring Animal Theme Craft for Preschoolers

Our craft this week is a moving rocking lamb from a paper plate.

So easy to make and fun to do.
