On the first Friday of every month, the Museum partners with Jimbo's... Naturally! to bring new ideas for tasty treats that families can make together at home. Using seasonal ingredients that can be found in the garden is a great way to engage children in activities and help them learn more about nutrition. For those ingredients you can't get in your backyard, you can visit Jimbo's!
This month, Jimbo's stopped by the Museum to teach us how to make Koala Krackers. This yummy snack involves some fun with activated charcoal and comes to life with fruity features.
