Crochet Vegetables

After I created my “Vegetables Song” I thought it would be a great idea to offer an educational kit to go with the song. I love crocheting and I’ve got an idea to create a series of handmade vegetables which I would gladly sell to teachers, mothers or anyone who loves crocheted toys.

I thought that creating tangible child-appealing toys accompanying my song videos, experience sharing and images I create for my articles here would be a unique and attention-grabbing feature of my blog. You can see pictures of my crochet vegetables below. They are available for purchase for only $150  for the entire set of 11 crochet toys that can be used both for education and decoration purposes.

All the vegetables are made of high quality hypoallergenic acrylic yarn and stuffed with polyester fiberfill, so it is easily washable by hand and even machine washable on the delicate program. They are safe for your children and pets because they have no small parts to choke with. I crocheted these toys using my original pattern. Please, pay attention that since these toys are hand-crafted items your vegetables may be a little different in measurements and color from those in the picture.

This set of crocheted vegetables includes all the veggies mentioned in my Garden song, and namely:

• carrot
• cabbage
• tomato
• potato
• pumpkin
• cucumber
• eggplant
• corn
• onion
• beet
• pepper

Cucumber Paper Crafts

Today I would like to present a cucumber paper craft which can be used in connection with many topics while learning English. You can speak with your pupils about wholesome food because cucumbers are considered to be very healthy and refreshing. Ask your pupils to remember what they know about this vegetable. Give them the information that cucumbers consist of 95% water. It means that we should eat these yummy green vegetables during hot summer days to keep ourselves hydrated. In winter preserved cucumbers, or pickles, are also used in many countries of the world as a wonderful component in winter dishes. So cucumbers are very important vegetables full of vitamins and microelements necessary for our body.
