Here a chick, there a chick . . . behind each of the 9 hinged doors on this charming barnyard scene is a delightful magnetic animal. Learning about animals while improving memory and fine motor skills will keep children busy and having fun on the farm for hours! The Hide & Seek Farm can help children develop not only fine motor skills and hand eye coordination, but also cognitive and perception skills. It offers several creative activities that parents and older children can engage in with younger children. Grownups can remove all the pieces and help the child to replace the animals in the appropriate spots in the barn by providing clues, or they can ask the child to make each animal’s sound. To work on memory skills, place several pieces face-up and ask children to study them before closing their eyes, then remove one piece and ask children to open their eyes and identify the missing piece.
