"Agriculture on tthe Moo-ve" is an alternative to the Maryland Ag Showcase for fair and festival events.  Exciting hands-on activites and a display are manned by a MAEF staff member.  These activities promote the importance of agriculture in a stimulating way!
Samples of possible activites include:
1.     Make Your Own "Down on the Farm" Riddle Bookmark – Children answer several farm related riddles and then find the farm “foamie” to answer the riddles as they complete a Down on the Farm bookmark.                                               
2.     Make Your Own Bookmark – Children can stamp, color and trim a bookmark with a trivia fact of one of Maryland’s commodities. Choices include chickens, nursery, dairy, sheep, pigs and honey bees.
3.     Farm Animal Puppets – Using paper lunch sacks, children get to make their own puppet and share some interesting animal facts. 
4.     Farm Animal Hand Fan – Children can color cheerful farm animals and attach a craft stick to create a hand fan and stay cool while at your event.
5.     Life Cycle of a Pumpkin – This kid friendly book when completed shows the complete life cycle of a pumpkin from seed to fruit.
