Fruit Games

Ages 2 - 5
Need: different fruits

This can be played either at the grocery store or at home.

As you're shopping, point out the different kinds of fruit to your child.

Let him hold different fruits and tell him to describe the way they feel to him.

Help him learn by telling him a peach is fuzzy, an apple is smooth, a grapefruit and orange have hard skins, a banana is either ripe or unripe.

Point out the ripe bananas. What color are they? Usually yellow with brown spots! Look at the unripe ones. They're green.

Which banana would he rather eat? Why?

Then have him hold each fruit to understand what these words mean.

You can also tell him that oranges have lots of vitamin C which helps to prevent colds, bananas have potassium that are good for muscles.

Have him look at blueberries. They are a deeper shade of blue than the sky.

Tell him that blueberries have antioxidants that help his immune system stay healthy and strong.

Apples come in shades of red and green and a lot of varieties. Look at all the different apples in the store.

Name them and look at the various shade that each different apple comes in.

Kiwi are a pretty fruit as are strawberries. Grapes are bite sized and come in green, red and purple.

Lemons are a pretty yellow and limes are green. Explain how lemons are sour and have a good smell.
