Today your little one builds a whole farm out of paper. Green hills, a red barn, a yellow sun and fluffy clouds: every piece is torn, placed and glued by little hands. It's a calm art project with a lot of looking and talking built in.

Farmyard Beat by Lindsey Craig, illustrated by Marc Brown, is a bedtime book that makes you want to get up and dance. It's short, bouncy and perfect for toddlers who love to move.

Farmers need a snack they can carry out to the field. Today your little one scoops, counts and shakes up their own Farm Trail Mix. Every scoop is a chance to talk about where our food comes from.

A farm is full of heavy things: hay bales, buckets of water, bags of feed and big pumpkins. Farmers can't carry it all in their arms, so they use helpers. A wheelbarrow rolls a heavy load on one wheel. A tractor pulls a wagon full of hay. Rolling is much easier than dragging!
