The children also participated in constructive, pretend play in our block center.  They worked to identify farm animals and act out appropriate sounds of such animals.  The preschoolers also constructed fences, houses, a sty, pond, etc. with blocks to further build on their understanding of what a farm includes as it relates to farm animals.
