Small Group Activity

One small group discussed what to do with all the tomatoes they had picked. One child suggested making pizza sauce. So after washing the tomatoes, we found a crock pot in the kitchen and cooked our tomatoes.

The children had a chance to put the tomatoes through a hand-cranked food mill to make sauce. We added spices and simmered it. We used our sauce to make pizzas for snack time, thanks to parents who donated bagels and mozzarella cheese to put on top to complete our cheese pizzas.
