Featured Farm Book

This is a fun farm-themed book that toddlers and preschoolers will love. Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin is full of animal noises that your children will love to go along with as well as the poor farmer that has to deal with the demands of the animals on his farm.
Farm Dominoes
Dominoes using pictures instead of the traditional number version is a great way to get children used to the rules of the game and how it works without having to work on knowledge of number and counting. This is why this Farm Dominoes makes an ideal activity to introduce the game and match with this week’s Farm Theme for toddlers and Preschoolers with our Virtual Book Club for Kids.
Loved playing this FREE Printable Game with your Preschoolers, then why not print and download some of our other Free Printable Games to play with your kids.
Materials Needed

Preparation
Download and print out the Farm Animals Dominoes from our store.
Cut out the dominoes and laminate if you wish this will make them sturdier and more durable to play with.
Playing Dominoes
Play with your child as you would normally.
One of the things that I have learnt from travelling and carrying a set of Dominoes in my backpack is that there are many variations of this game and how it is played each family has their own slight variations on it so play as you would as a family or in your setting.
