Pretend Play Farm Stand

This little farm stand was super easy to make; I used a wooden fruit crate that I had in my garage to create the base. I used this crate as an end table in college!

I chose to use only one wood crate because it takes up very little space, it’s approximately 16 inches wide and 12 inches high as pictured here.

I attached two thin pieces of wood to the sides of the crate with a staple gun. You could probably use paint sticks or cut a yard stick for these too.

Next, I attached some burlap ribbon I had leftover between the two pieces of wood. I attached the pennant banner flags from the printable kit to the ribbon with mini clothespins.

The baskets were on sale after Easter at my local craft store for a dollar each.

The wooden eggs were also on sale at the craft store after Easter- score!

The fabric inside the baskets is cut from scraps I also found at the craft store for a dollar. I used pinking shears to cut the fabric because I don’t sew- at all!

The fabric veggies and fruit pictured here are a mixture of some I found at IKEA and some I purchased from Etsy.

Dramatic Play Garden and Farm Stand

The garden and farm stand dramatic play kit makes a great companion for a spring or farm theme when kids are learning about seeds and how they grow, or where food comes from.

Your kids will love planting, tending, watering and harvesting the veggies in their very own garden! They will also adore selling those veggies in the farm stand.

Fresh Corn

Add a scale to your farm stand for measurement and math practice. Kids will love learning concepts like heavy and light, more and less while they have fun weighing corn and other items from the farm stand!
