I’m excited to share another craft for kids from my Kindergarten teaching days- farm animal windsocks! These ended up being the perfect craft for us to make since Lucy is eager to practice cutting and gluing, and Theo is in love with farm animals. He was so excited to wake up from his nap and see four farm animals hanging in the playroom. (Especially after reading one of our favorite children’s books, Big Red Barn. It’s almost as if the story had come to life!)

 

I’ve outlined the directions below for the cow, sheep, pig, and chicken windsocks. The construction is very similar to these cows I shared earlier. Please keep in mind these are just suggestions as to how to create the windsock farm animals. There’s a lot of room to add your own creative touch to each one, and I’m sure your children will have their own ideas on how to make them their very own!

 

 Farm Animal Crafts: Windsocks

 Cow Windsock

1. Cut out some spots from white construction paper and glue onto a sheet of brown construction paper.

Lucy’s favorite part of making her own windsock was learning to accordion fold the legs. She was so proud to learn something new! Here’s her completed pig windsock. After I took the picture, she immediately went to hang it on her bedroom door handle. Proud girl!
