note: this activity was done during a week long camp
called “way back when…” for 4 & 5 year olds at our local museum.

oh, joy of joys.  a praire delight.  on the day we learned about clothing way back when, we washed our picnic cloths (so they would be clean for dress up as kerchiefs, bonnets, or superhero capes).

mr. vic came and told us about how water was hauled from a well into the house.  this is a real and functioning windmill.  he helped the preschoolers use the hand pump to fill our washtubs.

then since we couldn’t take them to the dryer, we hung them in the kansas sun.

dreamy.
