Get your boots on—it’s time to track down some barnyard animals! Barnyard Explorers: Search, Play & Move is a fun and playful adventure designed especially for children ages 3–6. Little ones will become real Animal Trackers as they explore the barn and search for hidden animals, from real furry friends to photo clues tucked around the farm.
This engaging session is led by a licensed physical or occupational therapist who uses imaginative, hands-on play to help children build strength, coordination, and confidence. Each session takes place at the barn or sheep/goat pen, providing the perfect rustic backdrop for this one-of-a-kind barnyard adventure. As kids crawl, hop, balance, and catch pretend butterflies, they’ll develop important motor skills while having a blast. Whether it’s jumping over hay, walking like an animal, or sneaking through tall grass, every child will move, explore, and giggle their way through this magical barnyard journey!
Caregivers are warmly welcomed to join in the activities alongside their children or may choose to drop off and pick up after the session.
Multiple sessions are available to suit your schedule—join one or both!
