Happy Monday! This week we will be doing a lot of different things with fruits and vegetables! If possible, I encourage you to support the theme by letting your child explore and taste different fruits or vegetables that he or she may not be used to. On your next shopping trip, try to find a brand new fruit that they may not have heard seen yet. Research that fruit, where it comes from, how big or small it may be, and taste test it. They could even pick the fruit ahead of time so they know what to expect when your bring it home.

Literacy: Read a book about food or look through a cookbook.
Sensory Play: Explore different vegetables and fruits through play. Fill up a large tub (or bathtub) with water. Add plastic toy vegetables and fruit. Add spoons, pots, etc. Can you correctly identify all the fruits and vegetables in your tub? Which ones are alike and which ones are different?
Math: Can you name one fruit or vegetable of each color of the rainbow? Line plastic food in order of a rainbow.
Art: Pick a vegetable or fruit and paint. You could use something long and skinny as a paint brush, or cut a vegetable in half and use it as a stamp. When dry, cut out into your favorite food!
