It’s a time of fall and harvest which makes it the perfect time to learn about farm animals with your preschooler or toddler.  These farm animals themed activities are simply and fun as your child develops their early learning skills.

This week we’re featuring the book The Little Red Hen for this week’s Virtual Book Club for Kids.

The Little Red Hen by Paul Galdone

The Little Red Hen is a classic tale about how we reap what we sow. When the hen asks a cat, dog, and mouse for help planting some wheat, she gets no takers: “‘Not I!’ said each of the farm animals. They won’t water, cut, or grind the wheat . . . or help bake a cake with it, either. You can only guess who gets to eat the cake by herself in the end?

Here’s a quick recipe and tutorial for how to bake a cake with your child.
