My son goes to a preschool that is all about getting people "back to nature." They do a lot of natural projects, interact with animals and participate in the 4H. Meanwhile they do also learn a ton of educational stuff.
Since he started school he has been more interested in taking care of animals and the responsibility of having pets so his dad and I decided we would get him some chicks.
We got him four chickens about a week ago and he is doing great at taking care of them so far. He loves them it is one of the cutest things ever. I am glad he has this responsibility and he is handling it pretty well for a 3 year old.

It also teaches great responsibility since animals aren't easy work.

@farbuoloxusy That's true. The feeding on time and the mess clean up is a lot of work.

I grew up in 4H and had all sorts of poultry. It was great fun and you learn so much. I think its great your 3 year old is excited about animals.

We want to put him in 4H but haven't yet. He does get to participate in 4H day at school but its something we really want to get him in.

My son is very gentle and great with animals. I think it is all in how they are brought up and he has been around animals his whole life.

We certainly don't have a farm but that would be so amazing! This year I plan on planting a pretty large garden and a ton of fruit trees. We also plan on getting a pig for food of course and a pony for the boys. I have to start somewhere.
