Wacky Wednesday with Farm Abby

Today the kids had a special treat.  Farm Abby came to visit us and talk about what farmers do in the winter.  She read us a book about how a farmer works throughout the seasons with crops, and then she helped us play a game.  Farm Abby showed us 15 bags of seeds.  We made observations of the seeds using attributes like color, shape and size.  Then the kids took turns guessing what each seed would turn into when planted.  Some seeds were easy to guess, like pumpkins, corn and peas.  Other seeds, like beets and kale, were a bit more challenging.  It was nice to think about spring planting on yet another cold day.
