One Potato

I am a big fan of helping children follow their food from as close to its source as applicable and to the table.  This can include gardening, markets, and helping in the kitchen.  This day Dot helped by washing a potato.   Here is all it took;

•  towel 
• dish pan with small amount of warm water
• child sized scrub brush (I bought ours here.)
• smock (she doesn't leave it on very long)
• potato ( or yam, gourd, carrot etc.)

This activity took place before her nap so she could wake up to a yummy baked potato for snack.  (we shared)
