Teaching children about vegetables – more Frederick crafts

Vegetable-Art

After a business trip this summer, we returned home to a basket of this Frederick-grown produce. Many of the produce items are heirlooms — like the “Cherrybelle radish” in the front right. Heirlooms tend to have higher nutrient content than hybridized vegetables (as I wrote previously).

Frederick is excited about his creation and announced that he wrote the names neatly on each item so that he could teach his baby brother about garden produce. Good idea!

For the craft oriented, these are just thin pieces of cardboard, glued together in two layers, painted, cut to shape, and otherwise decorated. Some have pipe cleaner stems inserted and glued between the layers.
