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.Reusable Farm Stickers

Open out the background board of the Reusable Farm Stickers and create lots of different scenes using the puffy stickers, which can be used over and over. One side of the board is of a barn and the other side is a farm field.

2. A Wooden Tractor

This wooden tractor would make a lovely first tractor for a boy or girl.

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

This box of farm themed jigsaw puzzles has 4 different puzzles each with a different number of pieces. The first has 4 pieces and they go up to 10 piece puzzles. It would make a lovely gift for a young child.

5. Farm Window Stickers

Have fun creating farm scenes on windows, white boards and mirrors with this Farm Window Sticker Set from SES Creative. The stickers are reusable and they make a great travel activity for children who are sitting beside a window in a car, plane, train or bus.

6. Playpress Farm Yard

Make your own tough card farmyard and characters with the Playpress Farmyard kit. It’s tough enough to get plenty of fun out of it once it has been constructed.

7. Pull Along Cow

For my youngest customers, this lovely pull along cow would make a lovely gift.

8. Wooden Construction Vehicles

These aren’t solely farm vehicles but many of these construction vehicles can be found on a farm and they can help extend the imagination when playing ‘farm’!

9. Farm Balancing Act

Being a farmer, can be a bit of a balancing act but this is a different story. The aim of this game is to balance all the wooden farm pieces on the balance board without having bits fall off. The wooden farm characters can be played with in imaginative play without the board too.

10. Water Magic Farm

This handy reusable water painting book features pictures of farm machinery, buildings and animals. Paint over them with the magic water brush and images and colours appear. Within a few minutes once the page has dried the images and colours disappear, ready to be ‘painted’ again. It’s mess free and attention grabbing.

If you haven’t found anything that takes your interest here, maybe you’ll find something in my farm toys section of my website. I’ll be adding 5 more farm toys to this section this week too so keep your eyes out for them!
