For Kansas Day activities this past week, Park Elementary School teacher Dara Touslee set up “Grandma’s Kitchen” in her kindergarten classroom.

“I bring in old items that I actually kept from my Grandma’s house,” she said. “Grandma’s washboard, an antique iron, tin dishes, old egg beaters, my Grandma’s aprons, and lots of other ‘old’ things. The kids have so much fun playing with the same things that I played with when I was a kid!”
