Kids Forage and Harvest Morning
Last week we had two brilliant Kids Forage mornings.
Just do the math:
Kids + school holidays + baskets + edible flowers & wild herbs + farm animals + an awesome playground + baking + paper + crayons
= A bunch of happy kids, floral & wild herb scones with lashings of jam and cream, fynbos iced tea, art, shrieks of laughter, new friends, plant knowledge, full tummies and
a Wild Fun Time!
Check it out:
Daring each other to eat the Spekboom leaves
Tasting Borage flowers
Discussing the merits of foraged wild edibles versus harvested crops. Or how mushy the mud is.
Peppermint Pelargonium …”It tastes like bubblegum!”
Meeting Bella the pig
Just kidding around
Washing the flowers and wild herbs
Then spinning them dry
Chop chop
Making the scones
Quality control tasting
Having fun in the playground
Scones are ready!
Yummy
Yummy
In my
Tummy!
And such creative artists!
Thank you to all the lovely children and their wonderful parents for bringing them for the fun filled morning.
Next time we will be making pizza!
Hope to see all those who who could not make it at one of the next Kids Forage Mornings.
