Strawberry Patch

From USDA: “Red, ripe, sweet, juicy strawberries are sure to delight young children. Youngsters learn about these flavorful fruits in the Strawberry Patch at Tasty Acres Farm. Children explore and discover for themselves how a strawberry looks, feels, tastes, and smells. After all that, who can resist a taste, or two? Children help with hands-on growing activities. They learn strawberries come from seeds and plants before appearing in baskets at the market. Children taste and enjoy strawberries in many different ways. Trying new foods broadens children’s food choices. Growing at Home materials are home activities that sprout from the day’s lessons. These recipes and activities extend the lessons for more at-home learning.”
