Description
This resource is the perfect way for children to explore fruits and vegetables! This could be with simple sorting, matching or identifying. Or they would also be perfect to use as a non-threatening therapy aid for children with food aversions.
-
Allow the child to name the fruit or vegetable
-
Sort them into ones that they like and ones they’ll try (giving a sense of control)
-
Using the stones to plan fruits or vegetables that they might try before introducing the actual food. Could even be used to put out the stones before making fruit rockets or similar
-
Use in pretend play to ’feed’ the characters – choose the character that looks the most like them, print, cut around then cut out the mouth, then attach to a plastic cup – have them feed the character using ones that they like or even ones they aren’t sure about as a pre-cursor to introducing them
Can also be used for a learning tool
-
simple matching – match the stones to the cards (you could print the same cards as the stones you have made or the opposite for a challenge)
-
sorting – fruits and vegetables
-
identifying – team up with the character cups and get them to feed the character the stone once they have identified what’s on it
Included
– 34 images for Fruit and Vegetable Stones ( 2 different versions – one with face and one without)
– Matching Fruit and Vegetable cards to match the stones to (2 different versions – one with face and one without. Also includes American variants of the names of the vegetables)
– 25 Character faces. Attach to a cup for pretend play and feed them the stones
– 4 sorting headers – Fruit and Vegetables, I like and I’ll try
Instructions for making the stones are included! You will need flat stones – I get mine from Bunnings or Grolife Products, mod podge and spray sealer.
