Family Workshop at Plains Conservation Center: Winter in the Sod House

Winter is the perfect time to warm up by the wood burning stove and make a meal and crafts together. Start by peeling and cutting potatoes for an old fashioned corn chowder, then while it cooks, make corn husk dolls and other homestead toys. At the end of class, we will all have a small bowl of soup and leave with homemade toys and a full belly.

Chowder has corn, potatoes, milk and seasoning.

Family Workshops at Plains Conservation Center offer families a fun, hands-on guided opportunity to learn about the prairie and the people, plants and animals that live or have lived there. Workshops include a guided exploration of the topic and a project for adults and children to create together. This workshop is designed for families with children ages 5-10.
