It was shown recently at the professional development day. It is to make children aware of farming. Judy told how the kit was made to develop farm activities with toys of farm equipment that are used on the farm. Dolls made up a family with four characters, all with given names and several puppets. There were kits that contained seed samples and soil samples, safety kit, activity cards and envelopes, also writing skills. There are four of these kits in use throughout the county, the teachers are finding them very useful in their schools.
