What Animal Sounds Can You Hear on the Farm?
Shh, listen! What’s that sound? It’s your farm animal puppets saying hello!
Each of our cute paper puppet printable templates tells you what sound each animal makes. Kids can have lots of fun learning the animal sounds and copying while they make their puppets.
Then, when their puppets are ready, they can have their very own farm puppet show where every finger puppet can “oink”, “moo”, or “baa” just like on a real farm!
Your loveable puppets can sing along to the Old MacDonald song and are a great way to make any farm themed story time lively and full of fun.
Farm Themed Learning
Kids can have lots of fun making the bigmouth animal puppets and there’s also lots of opportunity for learning too.
Each printable farm animal finger puppet comes with interactive panels at the bottom of each template to write or draw cool facts about them. What do little pigs eat? Where do they sleep?
As they as they color and create their farm puppets, kids can talk about what they know. This is a fun educational craft to enjoy at home or in a classroom setting all through the school year. It’s perfect after a farm trip or during a farm unit of study.
Skill Building With Farm Animal Puppets
Playing with these sweet hand puppets is a great way to boost kids fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. As they color, cut, and stick their puppet friends, their little hands are learning to be super strong and skillful.
Plus, as they play, they’re also learning! Putting on their own farm puppet play and acting out scenes improves kids’ early language and communication skills – all while having a blast with active play, imaginative stories and barnyard giggles! It’s so much fun!
