The fair is one of my all time favorite things to do here in MN. I am not sure why...bad, unhealthy food on a stick, vendors trying to sell you things, crowds, etc...Nevertheless, I like it. This year we took the girls and our first stop was at the Little Farm Hands. This particular exhibit was really great.
Getting dressed to work the farm.
Walking through the corn field.
Getting corn to feed the animals.
Transporting the feed.
Feeding the chickens and collecting an egg.
Milking the cow. Ella did NOT want to try this.
Planting a seed and harvesting a vegetable.
After feeding the animals and collecting milk, eggs, etc. The girls were able to sell their goods (or return them) at the farmer's market. They each earned a dollar and were able to go to the store and buy one item (real item). They picked a little stuffed lamb to bring home. What a neat exhibit.

That is really neat! I am often amazed at the thinking behind some of these types of exhibits or hands-on educational projects for the kids. Wonderful!
