Why Kids Love This Big Barn
Both big wooden doors swing wide open, and a cow and a sheep peer over a half door inside. Up top, a hay bale sits in the open loft, and a rooster weather vane crowns the roof. A stone path leads past a pig, a ewe with her lamb and a spotted cow. A cat sits on the right, a duck paddles in the pond and a smiling sun shines overhead.

Fun Facts About Barns
Farmers use a barn to store hay, straw and grain so the animals have plenty to eat in winter. Up under the roof there’s often a hayloft that gets filled through a big door. Many barns have wide doors so wagons and machines can drive right in. The weather vane on top turns with the wind and shows which way it’s blowing. A ewe usually has one or two lambs, and they stay close by her side.
What to Do with Your Finished Barn
Glue real straw or yellow yarn onto the hay bale in the loft. Or put on a little play: each kid picks an animal from the page and tells what happened on the farm today.
