Any Dramatic Play Ideas?

Next month I am doing a farm/harvest theme in my classroom. I need some inexpensive (or free) ideas to change my dramamtic play area. Right now it's a simple playhouse (with a kitchen, table, chairs, etc). I'd like to make it a farm scene or something simmilar - but I'm not sure how.

I work with 3 and 4 year olds. When we studied the ocean, we made a beach scene. I even covered the kitchen with brown butcher paper to make it look like rocks. I brought in ocean props and clothes and the children loved it! I'd like to do something simmilar with the farm/harvest theme. Please give me any ideas you have - but remember they have to be free or very cheap ideas only! Thanks a bunch!

When I did this theme with my class I went to the eastern market (farmer's market) and got some straw and corn. It cost me less than $5. Pumkins and squash are great accessoreis , and can be used ot tlak about what is grown on a farm or for cooking projects. I turned our homeliving dramtic play area into a fram by painting a picture of a barn on the wall. (on butcher paper) I put stuffed farm animals in the area too like pig and cow puppets.

We did a ton of other cool projects like "milking a cow" (done with a rubber glove filled with milk. I poked holes in the finger so the milk would come out--the fingers were udders) We also made real butter from Heavy whipping cream Yummy! We even stuffed a scarecrow, we dressed him in an old pair of my jeans and t-shirt .It was a very fun two weeks!
