We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some
resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of
social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of
activities for you and your families - see which
ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on
any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom
of this blog.
Today's theme is Fun With Vegetables!
Vegetable Stamping: https://craftulate.com/vegetable-stamping/
Vegetables make great stamps for little hands! Try some basic shapes, like peppers, carrots, celery, cucumbers, etc. then throw in some broccoli or lettuce. You can use single stalks of celery to make specific designs, or try "carving" different shapes out of your vegetables. So many possibilities!
Vegetable Science: http://www.everythingpreschool.com/themes/vegetables/science.htm
Check out some fun science experiments you can do with fruits and vegetables! Try the Celery Stalk Colour Change, or Floating Potatoes!
Getting kids to eat their vegetables can be a battle at times, #understatement. Check out some of these fun and fresh ways to get your kids to enjoy their veggies!
Make your own tuna boats with peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and your choice of mix to keep it all together - try the tuna mix, or some healthy vegetable dip! The grouchy ladybug crackers are adorably delicious! Make them with veggie dip, or try some hummus!
