Cornucopia


It’s Thanksgiving in the US next week and that means we are seeing a lot of cornucopias (also called Horn of Plenty) in gifts and decorations. But cornucopias were being used long before anyone had heard about Thanksgiving – the Ancient Greeks were the first we know of who made cornucopias to show off their harvest of food and flowers.

In the fridge


The first home refrigerator was designed by a French monk in 1911! There were refrigerators before that, but not for in homes. Instead people had ice boxes that were kept cold by…ice! not electricity. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Bloated Belly!


Well, they didn’t eat the WHOLE thing, but pretty close! Those are some full bellies I see there. The word ‘belly’ comes from the Old English word for a stuffed bag! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Grocery cart


What do you think Sophie and Sadie are buying at the grocery store!? Did you know that it used to be that when you went to the grocery store you handed your list to a clerk who would put everything together for you. That was when there were 800 items in grocery stores instead of 40,000! In 1916, a Piggly Wiggly in Tennessee was the first grocery store that let people do the shopping themselves.

Bird Feeder


Some people like to feed the birds in the winter so they can enjoy seeing them up close. Other people think that it’s better for the birds to find their own food! What kind of birds and how many come to eat all depends on what kind of seeds you put in the feeder. There are birds that like to eat from bird feeders and birds that like to eat what they find on the ground. One of the tricky things […]

Cupcakes


What could be more fun than decorating cupcakes?! – well, maybe eating them! Did you know that it wasn’t until 150 years after cupcakes were invented that someone thought to put frosting on them.

Acorns harvest!


It’s that time of year with the squirrels running around gathering up acorns for the winter. Squirrels, woodpeckers, and deer eat acorns – and people can too!

Carrots


Carrots are a root vegetable – so the colorful crunchy part that we usually eat is hidden under ground. Usually they are orange, but they can also be red, yellow, white, or purple! I’ve had all of the colors and I can tell you they don’t taste exactly the same. People have been eating carrots for at least 4,000 years, but they’ve only been eating orange carrots for about 400 years. Orange carrots were developed by Dutch carrot growers for […]
