I used to read the Lil Divas this story every single night when they were babies and into toddlerhood. I could recite it by heart and as the girls got older they could "read" along with me as well.
I was excited to re-visit the story with the Lil Divas and have some fun with farm animals.

That is way too cute. I'll have to add this to my farm theme week for next year. We just finished our farm week yesterday with our farm breakfast and square dance and real cow visit to school.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Big Red Barn and could also recite it to you from memory. I love hand print crafts and this one is really cute.
ReplyDeleteQuite the little artist are they? This is really beautiful work, a very nice craft. Tell the girls to keep up their artistic skills they won't regret it. I love to paint and love the arts.
ReplyDeleteI may borrow this one Bern,since we have the book too.
Ahhhh, those handprint animals are so stinkin cute!! I absolutely LOVE this idea. I'm pinning this and can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea- I'm a sucker for 'hand-art'. Great idea and we are going to have to hit up our library for some farm books :)
ReplyDeleteThe hand prints are so adorable! In my daughter's school they had read the red barn book during Farm theme. We may borrow your idea for the book.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Love it! Love It! Did I say that I love it?
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute...my girls would love this. They love when I paint their hands!
ReplyDeleteWow I have never heard of this book. I have got to check it out. I love the craft. It's been awhile since we made any hand animals. I think we did it last for the letter S (we made a skunk and a spider, can't remember what else).
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is so adorable. I love how you did a variety of farm animals. I would love for you to stop by and share this cute idea at my "All Things Wonderful Wed. Link Party". I love your blog.

This is such a creative and fun activity to add on to the story - I love it!! Thanks so much for sharing, I think it's time we get this book out again and do this activity! :)
