Why Kids Love This Potato Harvest
In the middle sits a wooden garden bed full of soil, with potatoes and potato plants popping up everywhere. A boy in a straw hat and overalls, a girl with braids and a boy in a ball cap dig with little trowels, while a farmer in a headscarf and apron helps out. Baskets of potatoes, a cart and a garden fork sit all around. In the back you can spot a barn with a rooster weathervane, a silo, a cow, two pigs, a sheep, a duck and chicks.

All About Potatoes
A potato is a tuber that grows underground on the plant. In spring, a seed potato goes into the soil and sprouts a leafy plant with flowers. When the leaves turn yellow and wilt in late summer or fall, the potatoes are ready. Farmers dig them up gently with a garden fork so they don’t get damaged. The green berries and leaves of the plant are poisonous – only the cooked tuber is food.
What to Do with Your Finished Harvest
Plant a potato in a big bucket in spring and compare your own harvest to the picture in the fall. Or try potato stamping: dip potato halves in paint and stamp a frame around your page.
