Farm Week






Farm Fun!


The Farm theme is always a favorite it 4K!  The kids had a great time playing with
 the barn, animals, and tractors.


We learned that that milk comes from cows, and that a lot of the foods we like to eat, like ice cream and cheese, are made with cow's milk.  We used some of that milk to make our own ice cream!
We put a baggie of milk inside of a larger bag filled with ice,

 
Added salt to make the ice work better,
 
Shook, and shook, and shook, battling tired arms and cold hands, then were finally
 excited to see that liquid milk change into solid ice cream!
 


 
We also made butter by shaking cream and a pinch of salt in a little jar.
 
We sampled our butter on a piece of toast, along with scrambled eggs, and thought it was delicious!
 
 
 
The highlight of our week was a trip to the farm!  We visited Glacier Ridge Animal Farm in Van Dyne, WI.  We saw some of the traditional farm animals along with more exotic animals like zebras, camels, and bison!
 
 
The kids were very excited about getting to feed the hungry animals!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We had a great time, thanks so much to all the parents who came along!
