by stacking the pegs. Look at the yellow animal mat together.  
Make an animal sound, then ask children to place a peg on the  
corresponding animal on the mat. Reverse roles. Ask children  
to make animal sounds, then you place the peg on the animal.  
COLOR PATTERNS  
Interlock two or more mats together and place them with the  
solid color side face up. Make a pattern by placing different  
color pegs in a row. For example, place red, blue, red, blue, red.  
Ask children, “Can you guess what color peg should come  
next?” If they guess correctly, they add that color peg to the  
row. Help children continue the pattern. You may make the  
pattern more complex by using 3 or 4 color pegs or by  
repeating a color.

THE GARDEN GAME  
A C T I V I T I E S  
Ask children to place five different color pegs (one per row)  
at the top of each row of fruits or vegetables. Place the  
rest of the pegs, five colors only, in an opaque  
container (a box or a paper bag). Children can take  
turns picking a peg and placing it in the row with the  
corresponding color. Play continues until one row in  
the garden is complete.  
JUST FOR FUN  
Before you begin the structured activities that follow, allow  
children time for free play. Help children interlock the mats  
together to form a large play mat. The mats can be arranged in  
a variety of ways (L-shape, one long row, a large  
square, zigzag). Let children discover for  
themselves different ways to play with the  
pegs.  
SORTING PENS  
The blue play mat is perfect for sorting.  
Place a different color peg in each of the  
pens. Ask children to fill up each pen with  
matching color pegs. Help children make up  
stories as they fill in the pens. For example,  
“Pretend all of the purple pegs are pigs. It is time for the purple  
pigs to go into their pen to eat. Can you put the purple pigs in  
their pen?” Then ask, “What animals should we pretend the red  
pegs are?”  
THE RED BARN  
Help children identify the shapes on the  
red barn play mat. Point out the large rectangle  
around the outside of the barn, the square barn door,  
and the triangle at the bottom of the door. Encourage children  
to use pegs to outline these shapes. Ask children if they can  
find any other shapes on the barn play mat.  
PLACEMENT PLAY  
FARM ANIMAL COUNT UP  
Encourage children to use the yellow  
animal play mat to count from 1 to 5.  
Ask children, “How many ducks do you  
see?” and “How many roosters do you  
Use the red barn play mat to show position words. For  
example, ask children to:  
* put a peg above the horse  
* put a peg below the hen  
* put a peg at the top of the barn  
* put a peg outside of the barn  
Then, place a peg on the mat and ask children to describe the  
peg’s position.  
see?, etc. Reinforce counting skills by  
inviting children to place pegs on each  
animal as they count out loud. Ask children,  
“Are there more pigs than cows?” and “Are  
there less sheep than pigs?” Make vertical towers with each  
row of pegs. Point out that the tower of “pigs” is much higher  
than the tower of “roosters.”  
HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?  
Use the green garden play mat to encourage color  
sorting. Ask children, “What color are the carrots in  
the garden?” Then have children fill in the row of  
carrots with the same color pegs. Repeat this activity  
with the other fruits and vegetables on the mat.  
IMAGINATIVE PLAY  
Encourage children to use the farm scenes for imaginative  
play. Let children grow their “peg” vegetables as tall as they can
