Farm Mural
Find animals, plants, colors, and the food stories hiding in the mural.
Count the living things you can find. Which one would you be for a day?
Murals can turn a building wall into a place for observation, conversation, and community memory.
This farm-themed mural is a chance to talk about where food comes from and what living things need to grow.
Point out every living thing you can find.
Move like your favorite animal in the mural.
What do farms need to help plants and animals grow?
Choose one thing in the mural you would like to see in real life.
- I spy something that grows.
- I spy a color that reminds me of sunshine.
- I spy an animal. What sound might it make?
- Name one color at a time while pointing slowly.
- Make gentle animal sounds and pause for your baby to respond.
- Count three things that are big and three things that are small.
- Pretend to plant a seed, water it, and watch it grow.
- Tell a short story about one animal waking up on the farm.
- Compare two things in the mural. How are they alike and different?
