Every year on July 7, people around the world celebrate World Chocolate Day, a special day dedicated to one of our favorite treats!
Did you know that chocolate begins as cocoa beans growing inside colorful pods on cocoa trees? Before it becomes a delicious chocolate bar, the beans are harvested, dried, roasted, ground, and mixed with other ingredients. Learning about this journey is a fun way for children to explore science, geography, reading, and vocabulary all in one lesson.
