Spring Field Trip

Children love baby animals. This is the time to be visiting a farm and letting children see animals up close.
Dear Readers,

Spring is here and the farm is a great place for children to learn about baby animals and see them up close. Children love animals and are thrilled with the wonder of baby animals. They may see colts, calves, kids, lambs, kittens, piglets, and chicks.

Do some reading and researching at the library then head for the country on a mission to see some newborn animals. If you can arrange a visit with a farmer or just take in drive by glimpses of animals grazing, it will be an adventure for a child.

If not, why not take your trip to the zoo to look for babies there? Visiting farm babies is a late spring event. Your children might want to make it a spring tradition. Don't forget the camera!
