Tools of the Trade: Safe Play
Children are curious and see the farm as a gigantic playground. They may not recognize or understand dangers and may forget the rules laid out for them. It is important to have areas on a farm where it is safe for a child to play – and items in the play area that will keep children interested and engaged so that they want to play in these areas.
