Shelburne Farms Field Trip

We had so much fun on our trip to Shelburne Farms to learn about farm life long ago.  First we watched a skit about 2 girls waking up to go to school, long ago and today, and made observations about the differences.  Then we tried farm chores from long ago.  We crushed corn to feed the hens. We threw a bale of hay from the barn. We washed, hung to dry, carded and spun wool.  We kneaded dough, baked it, made butter and ate the results.  And, we made candles.
