2016 Silver Nautilus Book Award Winner From the best-selling author of Cooking Class comes this creative, hands-on activity book that teaches kids where food comes from. Farmers Market Create-and-Play Activity Book features more than 100 stickers and nearly 150 punch-out paper pieces. Kids will have everything they need to set up a pretend farm — including gardening tools, plant markers, and a toy tractor — and then peddle their wares with signs, price tags, and a cute shoebox cash register. Fruit and veggie punch-outs do double duty as props and templates to make adorable felt versions to fill up their baskets. Games and activities sprinkled throughout help kids learn while they play, meaning that parents, too, will love this bounty of fun! "Children with farmer on their lists of future careers will find plenty of ways to get a pretend-play head start in this spiralbound activity book, which includes punch-out pieces, stencils, stickers, and games. In four sections, Cook walks readers through how to dress like a farmer, make a play garden complete with felt produce and paper-and-pipe-cleaner flowers, and construct a farm stand to sell their make-believe wares. Photographs of children appear throughout, along with images of the in-progress and finished projects. Suggestions for field trips to real-life farms and markets are included, as are labels, shopping lists, and even business cards that let kids play to the fullest.
