They were excited to see all the different animals, delighted when they got to pet some of them, thrilled when grandpa took them for a ride on the ‘big tractor’ and loved playing on the bales.
And when they were done playing outside, they’d come in and grandma would give them buckets full of all kinds of wonderful farm toys. They’d hunker down and play with those toys for hours, coming up with all kinds of pretend play scenarios and creative stories.

Schleich Feed Set
This delightful Shleich Feed Set will give your little animal lover everything they need to feed and take care of all their farm animals.
Each of the 16 pieces is hand painted and very realistic looking. The set comes with feed crates, apples, carrots, oats, pellets, a straw bale, a hay bale, a pitch fork, and a broom.
It’s a great addition to any child’s farm toy collection and allows your child to extend their pretend play chores to include feeding the animals. It’s also lots of fun to load the different items into toy tractors, trailers, and trucks so they can be hauled around.
Designed to be an accessory to the Schleich World Of Horses, this set also goes well with other farm toy sets, such as the Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Barn.
This feed set is recommended for kids 3 years and up, quite possibly due to the small size of some of the items. For example the feed sacks are only 1 inch tall and the hay bales measure about 1 inch X 1/2 inch, making them a potential choking hazard for kids who tend to put things into their mouth.
But if you don’t have to worry about that, this Schleich Feed Set is a great accompaniment to any toy farm set, and it’s sure to add loads of fun to your child’s pretend farm play!
