Food - Day Two

I'm very tired today due to a night of very itchy mosquito bites so this will more than likely be a dull post.

Today we made pictures with veggie prints.
Not sure about the cross face

It's funny watching the different approaches that the kids have with this kind of activity.  Jacob wasn't very enthusiastic and said this definitely won't go into the final favourites week (mind you, it was 28 degrees in the shade and very humid so it was hard to be enthusiastic about anything really) so he was just trying to produce something decent as quickly as possible.  One is a garden and the other is the trail left by a lion after treading in various food stuffs.
For Rose it is all about the process and the end result is irrelevant, she spent ages over these, smearing paint all over the place but I have no idea what they are.
These are the stamps, we used apple, carrot and potato.  Also celery, if you cut the end off a bunch it makes a lovely rose shape, a little like canal boat paintings.
We were going to get some sunflower sprouts going as well today but I just got the seeds out of the cupboard and realized that I only have roasted ones.  Durr, we could wait a long time for those to sprout, it would be even worse than the still.
