Fruit Week!

I am in the midst of doing Whole 30 (that's an entirely other post coming soon!), so I have been eating tons and tons of fruit. I thought why not do a fruit-themed week with Ella?! 

Books we read:

{The Berry Book | The Fruits We Eat | The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear | Fruits | Blueberries for Sal | Eating the Alphabet | The Watermelon Seed | Oliver's Fruit Salad | Fruits | Go, Go, Grapes!}

Educational things:

Fruit Tracing

Blueberries for Sal patterns (after reading the book of course!)

Fruit Count and Clip Cards

I am getting obsessed with these...they take .2 seconds to print and cut apart, and they keep her busy for quite a while!

I also found a whole bunch of apple stuff from my teaching days! (I used to do a whole apple theme...and since apples are fruit, duh...)

Apple Alphabet Matching (can't believe I found a link to this!)

Capital to Lowercase Letter Matching (sorry couldn't find a link, but I believe it came from a book like this?!)

Making patterns with apple die-cuts

Apple Rhyming Match Up (again, couldn't find it online, but it came from The Mailbox, which was my favorite place to get stuff! Back before Teachers Pay Teachers!)

Art projects:

Paper Plate Watermelon

Fingerprint Blueberries

Lemon & Lime Stamping

Paper Towel Roll Grapes

Sensory play:

Watermelon Sensory Bag

Hammering watermelon

For snacks, we just ate a whole bunch of fruit! 😉

Next week, we are doing ICE CREAM! I'll be done with Whole 30 (🙌🙌🙌) so you better believe one of our activities will be visiting an ice cream shop (and obviously eating a bunch of ice cream)!!!
