To the surprise of no parent, children have a lot of energy. Often too much. It is stunning how much energy their small bodies can produce; every once in a while, that energy needs to be released.
This need for energy expenditure is exactly why fun activities for kids are essential. They get to release all of that pent-up energy while enjoying every minute of it. Many family-friendly activities can create stronger memories and bonds through shared enjoyment.
However, children can get tired of the same old activities. So what can you do if you need new family-friendly activities? Why not combine education and fun activities for kids by bringing them to Clover Brooke Farm?
Suitable Fun Day Activities on the Farm
Children love animals, but finding animal places for kids outside of the zoo can be challenging. That is why a farm trip is an amazing opportunity to create fun activities for kids by introducing them to animals they may have never seen before, such as alpacas or llamas.
Farm activities for preschoolers (ages 5 and up) are also available. At Clover Brooke Farm, we have bunnypalooza, one of the best farm activities for preschoolers. This unique opportunity is for young children to meet our delightful bunnies and learn more about them. And yes, they will be allowed to pet them and hold them while our educators teach them about bunny behavior.
But most importantly, these fun activities for kids don't just stop at bunnies and alpacas. We have plenty more fun activities for kids of all ages.
5 Farm Activities That Channel Positive Energy
When you arrive at Clover Brooke Farm, we will give you a special tour that shows off our facilities, animals, and countryside. We want you to appreciate and love the fresh fields as much as we all do, two and four-legged combined!
Once you have had a chance to learn about and check out the farm, we can begin with five enjoyable activities for kids they will want to do every Sunday!
Painting Classes
Children sometimes want to be creative but don't want to do it at home. Painting while watching your favorite animal (who you will meet before the painting class begins) is an enjoyable activity for all ages. It combines the fun of painting with the beauty of an idyllic countryside farm. Animal places for kids are the perfect place to let their imagination go wild as they watch the animals freely roam around the farm going about their lives. Click here to learn more.
Donkey Walks
Sometimes, you need to mull it over with a mule. Donkey walks are one of our most family-friendly activities, as they can be done in pairs! We assign you a donkey who will be your nearly hour-long traveling companion across the farm and who will use those big ol' ears to listen to all your troubles, guide you along the path, and give companionship as you enjoy the beauty of Clover Brooke Farms.
Besides being one of the many fun activities for kids, the best thing about donkey walks is the unique personalities of our handsome hoof friends. Some of our donkeys can be stubborn or slow, and this can teach children about patience and respect. It also makes our donkey walks a family-friendly activity that can teach children of any age a valuable lesson about compromise and patience, taught specifically by our helpful companions.
Alpaca and Llama Hikes
If you want the ultimate energy spender, then our alpaca and llama hikes are for you. Our animal hikes provide fun activities for kids to explore and adventure with one of our beloved alpacas or llamas. Rugged, sturdy, and delightfully friendly companions, our alpacas and llamas can help children embrace their call for adventure as they hike through the farm and breathe in the fresh air.
Alpaca and llama hikes are, by far, our most popular farm activity. While donkeys are our stalwart steeds, alpacas and llamas are the friends who want to show you the whole farm!
Warm and Fuzzy: Small Animal Experience
The small animal experience is one of our favorite farm activities for preschoolers, as the animals are small enough that they won't scare the children, and the perfect vessel for the children to learn about the animals, including what they like, don't like, and how they behave with others! Plus, they are a delight to pet and feed. The small animal experience is similar to a petting zoo, where children ages one and older can interact with our small, friendly animals and learn about their behavior.
Bunnypalooza!
Do you hear that? It's bunnypalooza! This fantastic experience is one of the most family-friendly activities available because everyone can enjoy time with our bunnies! As a celebration of all our friends who hop, bunnypalooza is the perfect activity to take your children to. Younger children will adore petting and feeding the rabbits, while older children will learn the importance of gentleness and body language. Our bunnies are very perceptive hoppers, so they will know if someone is having a rough time and try their best to make them feel as welcome.
Turn Sundays Into Fundays
Children love animals, and our animals love children of all ages. They want to share our farm with every child who wants to learn, interact, and play with them. Best of all, they want the whole family to get involved.
And why shouldn't they? Finding fun activities for kids can be a chore and a challenge, especially if you are the proud parent of several children. It would be best if you spent that energy engaging in family-friendly activities with us at Clover Brooke Farm.
Turn any day out into a fun day out that will delight your children and allow them to love our animals as much as we do. Feel free to contact us and set up a visit for the whole family!
