The Farm Washing Animal Activity is a simple, fun, and engaging sensory play activity for students of all ages.

Cleanup is a breeze as students can use brushes, sponges, and their hands to gently wash the animals in warm, soapy water.
How does Farm Animal Washing allow students to engage in sensory play?
This activity has students engage with their sense of touch while developing and improving fine motor skills. Children will work directly with their hands to cover the animals in dirt and then scrub them clean! Have students run their hands through the dirt and water to experience the difference in sensations each substance provides.
