Old MacDonald Craft for Kids

My daughter has always loved animals. I remember taking her to see Old Macdonald’s farm in Freeport Fleetwood a few years ago and there were some lovely animals. It was such a fun day out and we had the best time.

In fact, my ancestors lived on a Farm in Harrogate. It’s called Quarry Farm, in Pye Lane and we recently went to visit the farm, and my Nanan shared stories of her brother being chased by a pig. Today we have a real treat to share.

These are the most adorable Old MacDonald craft for kids. Perfect for Easter but also great as an animal-themed craft for spring or summer and a wonderful activity to do with the little ones.
