Little Sprouts Sugaring class in Mansfield, Pa
I gave a little class on sugaring to a group of 2-6yr olds at the Mansfield Library. The program is called Little Sprouts and its a Tuesday night program that teaches kids all about plants and gardening.
Here is the link to see some of the photos and video.

It was a lot of fun. The kids thought syrup came out of the tree. And lots of adults didn't realize how much like water the sap was. I handed out little cups with a swallow of sap for everyone to try. A good education for all.
The best part of my class was at the end of my little talk explaining everything, I asked if there were any questions. One cute little girl nicely raised her hand and said "One day when I grow up...I'm going to be a ballerina!"
Sooooo off topic but was cute! =)
