The Morning Menu I Wish I’d Had Sooner: Farm-Themed + Full of Purpose

If you’ve been on TikTok lately, chances are you’ve seen the morning menus popping up everywhere. They’re so dang cute—kids circling their breakfast, checking the weather, picking how they feel… and I kept thinking: “Okay but… what all is even on these??” I could never find one that felt complete, especially one with a little farm charm.

So I made one. It blends simple routines, big skills, and a love for life on the land—all in one printable you can use every single day.

What’s Inside?

This isn’t just a checklist—it’s a tool to help your toddler or preschooler feel capable, curious, and connected to what they’re learning. I pulled together the things I’ve seen help most in our own home and made sure it was rooted in both routine and real skills.

Here’s what’s included:

• Name Tracing (First + Last Name): One of the biggest confidence boosters for little learners is being able to recognize and write their name. This menu includes traceable lines so they can practice it daily and really make it their own.

• Weather + Feelings Check-ins: Building routine around checking the sky and checking in with themselves is huge for independence and emotional awareness. I kept it light, visual, and super simple.

• Big vs. Small Sorting: Because size comparison is a math concept and helps them think critically. Plus—it’s fun to find what’s “different!”

• Number to Word Matching: I love this one for bridging early math and reading. Matching “4” to “four” helps connect the dots for real-world number use.

• Color Matching: With a farm twist, of course.

• Days of the Week Song: (Yes, the Addams Family version—because it works!)

How to Set It Up

Once you download the PDF, I recommend printing it on cardstock and either laminating it or using a dry-erase sleeve so it lasts.

Here are a couple of Amazon finds we love:📎 Dry Erase Sleeves📎 This affordable laminator

Toss it on a clipboard or keep it on the table, and just make it part of your morning rhythm. Trust me—it becomes second nature fast.

From Our Farm to Yours

This little menu has made our mornings smoother, more intentional, and honestly more fun. If you’re just starting out with homeschooling, or you just want your toddler to start the day with a little independence and a lot of learning, this might be the perfect thing to add.

Can’t wait to see it in your homes. Tag me if you try it!
