Big Red Barn

Lots to do and even more to explore around the Big Red Barn! 

A true childhood classic, the Big Red Barn from Battat is sure to bring hours and hours of farm-inspired imaginative play directly in your living room. The farmer and all his animal pals are ready for a day of adventures! Toy barn opens up and features a fold and go handle. Peek through the window and open the door to let the sheep in. Check on the second floor to see if the cow's still snoring! That same second floor features a cozy nest, which is the best hiding spot for all your chocolate eggs. Corn is ready in the feeder for everyone that's hungry. Did you spot the little mouse? She's been driving the farmer crazy! All doors are easy to open (even for teeny tiny hands) and will click into position when you close them. This kid's farm set is just the right size for little hands with toy farm animals that are easy to grab and hold. This play farm also promotes sensory play with gorgeous colors and plenty of sensory textures; also, a great way to encourage imaginative and pretend play. Six pieces: 1 toy barn, 1 farmer, 1 cow, 1 pig, 1 horse and 1 sheep.
