Teaching Resources
The George the Farmer free teaching resources have been developed by a qualified teaching consultant. The resources are aligned to the Australian school curriculum and aimed at Foundation - Year 4 levels. Subject areas covered include Literacy, Music, Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
Many of the activities included within the guides can be used with pre-school children. There are also lots of beaut activity sheets that can be downloaded for free too.
We love to receive feedback from teacher's or parent's on our resources. We would love to see learnings about agriculture incorporated into all schools so please feel free to share details of our resources with your teaching acquaintances. If you have any ideas for future resources, please don't hesitate to send us a message.
Suitable Ages
George the Farmer is aimed at 0-10 year old children. We find that young babies love being read to and looking at the bright illustrations in George's books, while older children are equally engaged with reading and singing along to our songs.
The George the Farmer teacher resources are aimed at Foundation - Year 4 levels however many of the activities included are equally achievable by pre-primary students. All resources are aligned to the Australian school curriculum.
Our Products
Where possible we aim to have as many George the Farmer products as we can created within Australia. Our picture books are printed in South Australia on paper from well managed forests using environmentally friendly vegetable inks. Our magnets are created in New South Wales. Our t-shirts are screenprinted in Queensland.
Our cuddle dolls have been safety checked following Australian/New Zealand requirements.

Sponsorship and Funding
At this stage, George the Farmer Pty Ltd does not receive sponsorship in any way for any information or posts that are broadcast through social media or our products. If a brand or product is referred to, this is simply because we feel the information is newsworthy. George the Farmer is 100% Australian owned by founder, Simone Kain.
Many events that request us to perform are successful in receiving funding to assist with our fees. We are happy to provide a list of organisations to contact for assistance.
