Fredbear Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not sure if this is possible for you but we either went up to one of the local farms, or on occasions the lambs were brought down to visit us at our setting. Have you thought about egg hatching kits, making butter, bread, milk shakes, fruit smoothies, We recently set up a farmers market in our role play area using real vegetables and fruit. The children pretended to purchase them and then brought them to the processing area, where they were washed, chopped, sliced and ate them for snack. Lots of learning opportunities with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
