About the Haystack

A haystack is a heap of dried grass built up around a central pole so it can be stored outdoors. Stacking the hay in layers helps it shed rain and stay dry until it is moved into the barn. Farmers store hay this way to feed their animals through the winter. Color the golden mound on this printable and follow the winding path to the top.
