I am just so excited about being able to use Dj Inkers clip art now! Purchasing a license is totally worth it! SO I thought about some themes that I haven't created units for and FARM won! This unit also includes ADORABLE clip art from JW Illustrations--I couldn't pass up using her adorable stick figures farm clip art! I LOVE her stick figures stuff!
I created a PVC pipe barn for a farm dramatic play during a practicum placement in college. This thing has been loved. I use it. My grade level team mates use it. And the kids LOVE it!
Here's a photo of the barn set up for the second time while I was student teaching. It's big. The kids can stand up in it. I can almost stand up straight in it! It's a lot of pieces to store, but totally worth it.
Now I have created a super fun Farm Unit to accompany a farm theme in your classroom! There are a variety of activities in this pack to meet the needs of different ages/grade levels. Please be sure to read through the list to see what is included!!

Cards: farm themed vocabulary cards. Some words are included
twice, but in DJ Inkers clipart or JW Illustrations clip art—print your
preference! J (pg.

Cards: count the number of farm items displayed on each card.
Clip a clothespin to the correct number. Use the recording sheet included to

The barn is absolutely amazing. I am sure it is loved--but it still looks like it is in great shape!
