Child Workers - Potato planters

In Iceland there is a tradition to teach the kids to work a bit. This year Kasper started an afternoon day camp will keep him busy planting potatoes and building little shacks (something like dog houses).
On Monday each kid is given his own little garden that he has to prepare and plant potatoes. He needs to care for them over the summer and dig them up in the fall.Then he can bring them home and we will eat them.
Now that the potatoes are in the ground the kids have time to build as well.
This very productive camp is very popular and you might actually be surprised how much the kids like actually doing something during the day, rather then just playing games.
