Growing and making food
We love to cook in this house so have always involved the children in this process as much as possible. Pizza making is great for this. The dough stage is fun and tactile. The toppings stage is creative and tasty!
Every year we try our hand at growing our some of own veg. The rest we get mainly from a friend who has an allotment. This year we stuck to just 3 crops - broad beans, sweetcorn and gherkins. The beans and gherkins are being harvested already but the corn has a way to go yet.
This is Keziah's sunflower which she planted in 'Seedlings' (creche at our church).
We definitely find that the children are much happier to eat all their veg if they've been involved in preparing or growing it!
