Farmers Market

Children at Columbian Early Childhood Center have been learning about many different topics this year.

A farmer's market was set up in Miss Anita's drama area. Children are able to learn about the different types of fall produce, especially pumpkins! Pumpkins and gourds of various shapes, sizes and colors are available in the drama area to explore. Children also created their own pumpkin patch by stuffing bags and painting them. 

Fall is great time to explore new recipes using produce, like pumpkins, that are harvested in fall. Here is a link to a recipe for Pumpkin Soup https://www.myplate.gov/recipe...
