On The Farm is one of my favorite preschool themes! Young children love farm animals, and there are so many opportunities for hands on activities and learning centers. These Digital and Printable Farm Animal Activities for Preschoolers are an awesome way to work on animal identification and fine motor skills at the same time! Little ones will love matching the animal name to the picture and placing the animal into the barn.

No matter which version you choose, your little learners will get fine motor skill and hand eye coordination practice manipulating the animals hands-on with the animal cards or using the computer mouse.
