Imagine spending a fun-filled afternoon creating adorable farm animals. From the gentle cow to the fluffy sheep and the oink-tastic pig, let me show you the perfect printable cut-and-paste crafts that will bring these barnyard favorites to life.

But hold on, there’s more to it than just crafting. There are some great benefits to crafts. In fact, these farm crafts for preschoolers are secretly disguised as a sneaky way to work on those essential fine motor skills!

Each craft is a great fine motor activity so your kids will get a workout for their little fingers. They can get cutting practice as they cut out shapes on the bold dark lines. Each printable fine motor craft includes opportunities for pre-writing practice, as there are dotted lines for tracing,. But, I think their favorite part will be that they can use a hole punch as they create each cute animal. You haven’t tried hole punching activities yet? Well, they are a SUPER MOTIVATING way to build hand strength.

So, making these adorable farm animal crafts is a fantastic opportunity for them to hone their fine motor skills while having an absolute blast. Trust me; they won’t even realize they’re learning and growing while creating these simple farm crafts for preschoolers.

Your kids can color the cow, or you can print it on colored paper. Take a look at the opportunities for tracing and hole punching.

I made a Jersey cow by printing its face and ears on brown paper. I thought that her pink nose is cute, but afterward, I met a beautiful real-life Jersey cow at an educational event and realized that I should have made the nose brown.

Sheep Craft

Ewe won’t believe the cuteness of this sheep craft! I couldn’t resist that…sorry. Kids will have a blast cutting out the head, face, and ears.

If you want to take this craft one step further, your kids can paste cotton balls to the fleece to make it extra fluffy.

Pig Craft

The final craft in the set brings me back to my childhood growing up on a pig farm. The baby pigs were always soooo cute. I cannot say the same thing about them when they grew up.

The printable pig craft will have your kids squealling with delight. Kids can cut out the head, snout and ears and paste them together.
