Description
This round wooden hanging plaque brings Old MacDonald's farm to a little one's wall, all in a soft sage green that sits gently in a nursery. Around the ring stroll a cow, sheep, pig, goat, dog, llama, goose, two ducks and a hen with her chick. A red barn and a tree sit among them, and each animal's sound is written beside it, from moo and baa to quack, oink and woof. In the middle hangs a smaller disc showing the farmer on his green tractor, towing a trailer piled with hay, above the printed words "Old MacDonald had a farm ee i ee i o". The plaque measures 23.6cm across and 1.1cm deep, a size that reads clearly on a wall without crowding it.
We think it suits a nursery, a toddler's bedroom or a playroom. Hang it by the door, above a chest of drawers or over a reading corner where the rhyme can be sung while you point out each animal. We see it for little ones from birth to three years old. It makes a cheerful gift for a baby or toddler and can stay on their wall as a keepsake once the singing days have passed. It is a decoration for the wall rather than a toy, so hang it where little ones can see it but not reach it.
The plaque is made of wood and hangs from a looped cord that slips over a hook, nail or picture pin, while the centre disc hangs within the ring on its own short cord. At just 1.1cm deep it sits close to the wall. To look after it, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it lightly with a barely damp cloth and let it dry. For a gift, tie a ribbon through the hanging cord and write the first verse of the song in the card.
