Fruit and vegetables
Gather a range of fruit or vegetables and place them in baskets or bowls, covering with tissue paper or napkins. For example:
* Place a tomato, plum tomato, a few cherry tomatoes, and tomatoes on the vine in a bowl, all individually wrapped.
* Encourage babies and toddlers to explore the objects and enjoy their sensory findings.
Or focus on citrus fruit:
* Gather two oranges, limes, lemons and grapefruit. Slice one of each in half, and one half into portions.
* Place the whole fruit and one half of each in a large dish.
* Offer a slice of fruit to the toddlers and challenge them to find the matching half and whole fruit in the dish.
