The farm grammar activity fulfills all these requirements. A delightful collection of farm animals, accessories, a terrain mat, and cards will fascinate the children’s imagination. It will provide endless opportunities to develop stories, and learn grammar along the way.

Before purchasing this set, I tried to put together my own farm set, which was tricky. I am really happy with this investment. The animals are really good quality. And I love the little farm accessories and the clever commands.
