When Holly was in Reception Year at Valentine Infant School her topic was Down on the Farm and the family project was to make anything to do with farm yeard, animals, colourings, pictures, etc. I decided to make an actual farm yard model.
Grandad Evans taught us to make paper machie houses when we were kids so I worked on that idea and started with an empty box which we painted to make the barn. It didn't look right so I made a gable roof and painted that - it was coming together.
I used the empty box from a packet of paint pens Holly had because it had a slight lip all the way round and I made a picket fence from lolly sticks. THe kids loved painting the barn, fence and yard. We used a toy tractor which I bought in the 99p shop and some toy farm yard animals. Everything had to be glued into place.
I bought foam for the pond and a bag of pebbles and used Easter decorating materials for the moss and ducks.
