Did you know technically the way to tell if something is a fruit or a vegetable is whether or not has seeds? Yeah, me neither. So cucumbers, squash, tomatoes and pumpkins are all technically a fruit. Seedless fruit has been bred to be that way, but is still fruit. Needless to say I did not share this with the kids, talk about getting confused. Below are some of the activities we did throughout the week.
This week we made peaches using tissue paper and paper plates.
We painted using fruits and vegetables.
We washed the plastic fruit and vegetables with soapy water in our sensory bins. Later in the week, we put toy vegetables in our sensory bin, which was filled with beans.
We sorted pictures of fruits and vegetables and then we completed a fruit and vegetable collage.
We sorted fruit and vegetable toys.
We played grocery store and pretended to go shopping using our shopping cart and cash register.
We read the story Vegetable Soup by Wendy Rose Baldinger and Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Ehlert.
We played with Mr. Potato Head (kind of a stretch but the kids love Mr Potato Head).
We tasted various fruits and vegetables throughout the week.
