Make play dough using wheat flour. Children can use the dough in pretend play to make pizzas, bread, cookies or muffins!
Make a simple no-cook strawberry jam together. Mash ½ cup of strawberries in a bowl and stir in ¼ tsp sugar and 1 tsp of chia seeds. Leave in the fridge overnight to set. Serve as a snack with cheese and crackers the next day.

Make a No Blender Smoothie together. Discuss how each ingredient is produced and which ones are local to your community.
Have students brainstorm foods that are made from wheat. Consider doing a tasting in class. For example, try different breads made from wheat like croissants, bannock, buns or naan.
