A day at the farm is so much fun and having a snack all about the animals you see makes it even more so! This Farm Animal Trail Mix is sure to be a highlight of your day!
Serve it to keep the hunger pangs at bay as you wait for lunch, in the car on the way if you have a long drive or even as a guessing game to see if they can figure out where the next field trip will be!
One of the best things about this recipe is that the kids can totally make it by themselves! It requires no cooking.

When is World Farm Animals Day?
World Farm Animals Day is October 2nd every year.
The Popcorn
Popcorn is a choking hazard for small children.
A substitute would be mini marshmallows.
Can it Be Made Ahead of Time
Yes, it can be made ahead of time. You will want to keep the cereal, popcorn and bugles separate from the gummies and cow tails as long as possible. Those flavors will blend the longer they are together.
How to Store Farm Animal Trail Mix
Store in an airtight bag or container.
Key Ingredients
(Full printable ingredients and instructions are just below.)

Popcorn is sheep’s wool.
Mini frosted shredded wheat cereal is hay bales. It doesn’t have to be frosted; we just think it tastes better.
Cheerios are oats for the horses.
Honey (affiliate link) combs for the bees.
Gummy worms are for the ducks and chickens.
Bugles are goat’s horns.
Cow tails are cow’s tails (of course! 😊)
