Food for thought

When you buy organic or local produce, you end up with a lot of scraps from the parts that aren't eaten. Here is a working post on activities to do with these "extras". I like that it adds a new element to the kids' activities, while exposing them to nature while indoors.

1. Cut up the stems from broccoli to count, build towers, make shapes and stamp with paint. 

 2. Use the tops of carrots of parsnips to paint with like paint brushes, or to make prints with.

3. Leftover pasta for sensory play and painting
