Farm Toys for Boys and Girls

Farm Toys for Boys and Girls

It’s the National Ploughing Championships week when lots of boys and girls around Ireland get a renewed interest in farming. Of course, there are lots that are consistent in their love of farming and imaginative play around it. Either way, here’s ten cool farm toys that they might be interested in!

  1. Build your own Wooden Tractor

2. A Wooden Tractor

3. Magnetic Farm Puzzles

These chunky two piece wooden puzzles make up farm animals. They stand upright and are held together with hidden magnets. Your child can choose to put the correct head on the body or to mix and match to make funny looking animals. I also sell a very similar version of Magnetic Animals from Janod Toys.

4. 4 Farm Puzzles in a Box

Farm Friends Shrinkles

This little set is perfect for a creative kid. Colour in the farm pictures with the colours in the packet. Then cut them out and pop them in the oven (with the help of an adult) for a couple of minutes. They shrink to become much smaller and thicker. Then put them on the counters, colour in the background picture and make your own play with your hand made characters.

7. Farm Observation Puzzle – Discontinued

This lovely jigsaw puzzle has 35 pieces and features a cute farm scene. Around the edges of the puzzle are small items that your child needs to find in the main/centre part of the jigsaw. For children aged 3+

8. Wooden Construction Vehicles

9. Farmyard Peg Puzzle – Discontinued

This large wooden peg puzzle from Melissa and Doug is designed for very little children. It has 3 pieces to put in and out and each of them has a super chunky handle which little hands can manage.

10. Fold and Go Barn
