Obviously there are many many crops that grow on farms, but I decided to focus our attention for this day to vegetables. Read on below to see how we explored vegetables.
"Farm messes" probably seems like an odd topic for a day of activities. But since messes are my toddler's favorite thing and farms are full them, I figured it was a good way to start the week!
Despite it being a solid week into April in an area where spring is generally warm, we had the pleasure of experiencing some snow this week. We are even expecting some significant accumulation tomorrow. So even though I was expecting more "April Showers" type weather for theme, we were able to experience some winter weather too!
In addition to the weather mother nature gifted us, we did some of our own exploration as well. The activities we did today to explore winter weather were some of my toddler's favorites this week. Our very first week has already served as a lesson in flexibility (but let's be honest - the past two years of becoming a parent have TRIED to teach me about flexibility and I NEVER learn!). We were actually supposed to focus on farms this week, but the weather was SO WILD that I just had to take advantage of the opportunity to experience so many types of weather in such as short period of time.
