I\u2019ve used “The Turnip” activity with great success for Scouting, YMCA, and recreation department camps. It has been used in museums, libraries, and at harp classes for elementary and middle school students. I also used it at the Blue Lake Fine Arts High School Camp, Homeschool Fine Arts Days, Reading Partnership Days (“Harp, Harp, Hooray”) and in Gifted\/Talented programs.<\/p>\n
