California Giant adds Kids Corner to website

California Giant Berry Farms, Watsonville, Calif., launched an addition to its website called “Kids Corner.”

The new page offers interactive games and activities for children, including a coloring page featuring the “Freshtastic Four” berry characters, a strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry. It can be printed out or colored online.

The page also includes fun facts about berries, social media connections and links to other kid-friendly sites that have both games and learning opportunities, according to a news release.
