From Farm to Table

Description

Head to the farm with Next Generation Yoga’s Lesson Plan, “From Farm to Table!” The easy to follow, step-by-step instructions will have you leading children on an adventure from meeting friendly farm animals to learning about different farm crops and working together to prepare a farm to table feast.

“From Farm to Table” is a fun and educational lesson plan full of age-appropriate Yoga poses, music recommendations, prop suggestions and many opportunities for children to share their personal experiences at the farm.
