I was sent a The Field Toy set. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post.
Both sets of my grandparents were farmers. When I was about 10 years old, my dad got some chickens for eggs. A few years later he got a few pigs. The last 10 years or so they have kept a few cows as well as chickens full time. Then they rotate through adding in other things like turkeys, pigs or ducks. I don’t really think of it as a farm because it’s such a small amount of animals but still, my nieces and nephews have all grown up seeing farm animals up close and personal. Most of them go through a phase of being interested in playing with farm toys as young kids as a result.

My nephew Royce is three as of today and he loves farm animals right now. Whenever he goes to my dad’s house he has to go out and say hi to all of the animals. So I knew he would love The Field Toy. Most farm-animal themed toys come with animals and a barn. Kids in my family think of animals as living in a field, not living in a barn. So for us, the field toy feels like a more accurate way to pretend-play as a farm.
We were sent the original field toy set which is quite large at 24″ by 17″. It also comes with a few accessories such as fencing material which can be made into various shapes, a tractor and a variety of farm animals. The Field offers a variety of add-ons and kits for grass or field type material that can be used to expand your field into a massive farm. Of course, most any toy store offers little animals or tractor toys that could be added to your The Field set to expand your child’s play options.
The Field Toy is based in Ireland but they have their toys available for purchase on Amazon for those who live in the US or Canada.

This is a cute toy! I hink besides the way it looks is how you can add your own things o it. Is that a jetliner in there? ha! I grew up around farm animals also, and I think all kids should experience some of it in some small way.

I love the simplicity of a toy like this! It’s nice to see kids’ play being powered by their imagination instead of batteries.

I live in the country and raise a lot of farm animals too. In this area this play set would be a winner! The kids around here love animals and farm life.
We too had chickens, cows, pigs, ducks, cat, and dogs when we lived in the country. My daughter loved it. Now that we moved to town we no longer can have any of that. I know my grandchildren would have loved growing up with farm animals. This toy is a great way for kids to experience farm life a little bit. My grandchildren would love it.
