Summer Bunch: Gardens and Veggies

Let's get our Veg on!

Read: Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss

Flannel board: Enormous Potato retold by Aubrey Davis

Craft: Carrots in the Dirt found via Pinterest from Along the Way

Need: White, orange and green paper, glue, water, dirt and paintbrushes.

• Prior to storytime, my dear summer volunteer cut out carrot and stem shapes. We also mixed up our "mud" -- old dried-out garden soil, glue and a bit of water.
• At storytime, at each craft seat, we placed sturdy paper, shapes, glue sticks and cups with "mud."
• We asked the kiddos to glue their carrots as if they were growing from the ground.
• Then when they finished, they should "bury" the carrots, with the "mud," leaving the green stems showing.
