Why Kids Love This Handy Farmer
The farmer kneels on one knee, holding a hammer in one hand and a nail against the board with the other. He wears a ball cap, a plaid shirt, overalls with two patches and rubber boots. The wooden fence has a nice wood grain, and a curious duck waddles by on the right. A smiling sun shines over the hills, barn and silo, and rocks and a flower sit in the front.

Why Does the Farmer Fix the Fence?
A pasture fence keeps cows, sheep or horses in their field and off the road. That’s why farmers check their fences often and fix loose boards or posts right away. Wooden fences are made of posts set deep in the ground and rails nailed across them. Many pastures today also use wire or electric fences. Jobs like this take handy skills – a farmer is often a carpenter, mechanic and gardener all in one.
Ideas for Your Finished Picture
Glue craft sticks onto the fence as real boards for a cool 3D effect. Or make up a story: who loosened that board in the first place? Maybe the curious duck?
