Kids' Activity Table at the Market

This year, we introduced a new attraction at the Oakmont Farmers Market - the Kids' Activity Table. Throughout the season, you'll find Haverford Township Farmers Market Association members hosting a fun, food-related activity for kids!

Yesterday at the Market, Shirley Cohen and her daughter Julie, and Joyce Platfoot and her son Sam entertained and stumped kids of all ages with a challenging test of their senses. Kids were asked to feel inside a brown paper bag to try to guess the contents, strictly by feel or smell. They were not allowed to peek inside the bag. Once they guessed, they were encouraged to study their treasures with a magnifying glass.

Watch our latest video of Joyce and Sam demonstrating the activity:



Bring your kids to the Market where they can have fun learning a thing or two about food! We have two upcoming activities tentatively scheduled later this season. Watch our weekly eNewsletter for more details.

1. September 24, 2008 - Fruit and Veggie Prints
2. October 22, 2008 - Scavenger Hunt

Thanks to Shirley, Julie, Joyce, and Sam - and all the other Association members who dream up these fun and educational activities!
