Preserving

First the children choose whether to preserve fruit or vegetables, and an easier or a harder level. Jars with coloured lids stand on a shelf, and the harvest is in the basket below: apples, pears, plums, grapes, lingonberries, elderberries, quinces and rose hips, or cucumbers, green beans, tomatoes, peppers, beetroot, cauliflower, onions, carrots and pumpkin. Children put the produce into the jars.

The activity suits an autumn topic about the harvest and storing food for winter.
