  • Level 1 · The Village

  • Mode Creative
  • Time 25–35 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Put your farm to work. You'll count your animals first, then feed wheat to pairs of cows and sheep and watch for hearts and babies. Give the little ones a home, count again and see how your farm has grown.

Finish line: At least two babies were born, and you can explain how the farm and barn work together.

Bonus challenge: Find out what food chickens and pigs need to have babies, then try it.

You’ll need

  • Wheat
  • Two cows
  • Two sheep

You choose

  • Which animals to start with
  • Names for the babies
  • Where the babies will live

Stuck?

  • Feed both animals in a pair one after the other, and keep them close together so they can find each other.
  • Already bred them? A pair needs about five minutes before it can have another baby.
  • Babies grow up slowly. Feeding them wheat speeds it up a little.
