Why Kids Love This Hay Tedder
The star of the page is the tedder, with spinning rotors full of curved tines. It has chunky wheels, handlebars and a seat, and a fluffy pile of hay sits underneath with lots of fine strands. More rows of hay lie across the meadow, with a spotted cow grazing on the left and a sheep on the right. In the back there’s a barn with an arched door, bushes, the sun and clouds.

All About Hay Tedders
For freshly cut grass to become hay, it has to dry in the sun. That’s where a hay tedder comes in: its spinning rotors with tines pick up the grass, toss it loosely and spread it out so air and sunshine reach every bit. Usually this machine is pulled and powered by a tractor. Depending on the weather, the grass gets turned once or several times until it’s dry. The finished hay feeds cows, sheep, horses and rabbits all winter long.
What to Do with Your Finished Hay Tedder
Glue real hay or straw from the pet store onto the hay piles so kids can touch and smell the harvest. Then talk about which farm animals eat hay in winter.
