Spring, and a little toddler’s fancy turns to… baby lambs.  Born last night at Maplewood Farm are two beautiful black ones that will melt your heart.  Chasing the hens, climbing with the goats or feeding the bunnies is such fun at this North Vancouver barnyard.  Spring is a great time to go and explain the difference between sheep and lambs, pigs and piglets (flash cards not included).  Get up close and personal with the animals, and don’t forget your carrots and parsley for the rabbits.  Birdseed is available for the chickens.  Just be sure that everyone’s hands get washed with soap and water (Purell and diaper wipes aren’t enough) to avoid the spread of disease after little hands stroke soft fur.

The fabulous new website includes activities for children, talking animals and a web cam to check the action.
