Old McHobbsy Had a Farm...

Inspired by a couple of farm stories we'd read recently (Picnic Farm and the Magic Shoebox Farm), we decided to make use of all the new school shoes shoeboxes I had lying around and make a 'farm'! We added mud for the pigs, hay for the horses, grass for the cows and sheep and erm...wood shavings for the chicken. Just because that was all I could think of. We also used some left over dry lentils/beans for animal feed. A nice bit of 'small world' play to get the kids' imaginations flowing. And lots of fun of course!
