Apple tasting is the perfect opportunity for children to use their senses. Choose apples with different flavor notes such as red delicious apples will be sweeter while, a granny smith apples will be sour. Give children the first apple and have them smell and taste the apple then have them describe the taste before tasting the second apple. This is the perfect opportunity to teach them vocabulary words such as: tangy, sweet, sour, juicy, crisp, soft and crunchy. Continue to add apple themed activities to your science and math shelves to keep the discovery going. |
