Farmers Market Pretend Play

Bring the Farmers Market to your very own backyard! This activity is perfect for teaching children about country life. Creating a miniature farmers market will help them understand how we get food on our table and answers questions such as:

• Where does food come from?

• How does food from the farm get to our table?

Materials Needed:

1. Baskets & crates

2. Tables & carts

3. Signage

4. Produce

5. Flowers

6. Table cloths

We had help from our families to fill up the market with real, fresh produce. If you're doing this at home, we recommend that you scale down everything to a manageable size.

Have fun shopping!
