Growing minds & bodies need proper nourishment! This interactive workshop is targeted for Leicester-area families with children ages 10 and younger. Together we will prepare a delicious & nutritious lunch to enjoy, using fresh ingredients from local farms. Participants will be provided with seasonal produce and recipes, plus seeds to grow fruits & veggies at home! This event will be bilingual, offering Spanish-English content and language integrated learning.
We will have different stations for groups to rotate between, with different children’s activities teaching easy, hands-on food preparation while learning about plants & nutrition.
