From Cow's Milk to Oat Drink: Children Explore Nutrition in Bielefeld

From Cow's Milk to Oat Drink: A Discovery Journey for Children in Bielefeld

How was milking done in the past and how is a modern plant drink made from oats? In this family experience at the Bielefeld Farmhouse Museum, children aged 8 and up discover the journey from cow's milk to oat drink in a playful way. Through games, fun, and experiments, they travel from 1850 to the present day.

Milking, Trying Out and Wondering

Practical experiences are at the center: The children learn how milking works and explore historical forms of dairy farming. Children's laughter, curiosity, and age-appropriate learning experiences are combined with the rural everyday life of past times.

Making Own Oat Flakes

Especially exciting is the process of crushing their own oat flakes. The children experience firsthand how a natural raw ingredient becomes a food product. This enhances their understanding of nutrition, craftsmanship, and sustainable processing – child-friendly, illustrative, and with lots of fun learning.

History Meets Education for Sustainable Development

The event combines historical insights with education for sustainable development. Children compare earlier working methods with today's food offerings and discover how food is produced. This promotes independence, factual knowledge, and the joy of joint exploration.

A Safe Framework for Curious Discoverers

The offering is aimed exclusively at children aged 8 and older and takes place in the rooms of the Farmhouse Museum. A binding registration is required. Accompanying persons can participate; they pay the museum's admission fee.

Conclusion: Discovering Together How Food is Created

From cow's milk to oat drink promises a meaningful family experience with practical experiments, historical knowledge, and many aha moments. Children experience agriculture and nutrition with all their senses – a shared time that arouses curiosity and remains in memory.
