Community helper theme- Farmers Market
Community Helper Unit- Farming/Chef theme
I created a fun farmers market for our older toddlers.
I “planted” fake plastic foods in the sandbox for them to dig up, then they wash/clean them off in soapy water (sensory bin, and then place them in the basket they belong to. I also created a shopping list they can use for buying said food items, and then they can go pretend cook in our outside mud kitchen.
For another activity, I printed and laminated a “Build your own fruit salad”.
Our play dough station consists of shape cutters, a cow, a carrot, and gingerbread man cutters, so the kids can make their own pretend cookies if they would like.
We also have several books for learning about farming/farmers, the machines used, and the different animals on a farm.
