In an effort to incorporate both good eating habits and an understanding of where out food comes from we had a box delivered from Farm Fresh To You.
To prepare we have been reading books about gardening, food and farmers markets. One of our favorite books is an oldie but goodie from 1943 Up Above and Down Below. Although a very simple book it introduces the kids to concepts and vocabulary such as tubers, stalk, roots and bulbs.
Our box arrived today and we were excited to see what we got. They then helped us decide if each food grew "up above" or "down below".
We are happy to report that the kids were able to identify almost all (white turnips were tricky) of the items in the box.
Good eating habits begin when kids are young! What are you serving for dinner tonight?
