BW Pre-School Activities

Hello Everyone! This week we will be doing Healthy snacks to make at home!!! 😋

Here I will add 3 simple and creative ideas to make some tasty and healthy food choices to help create some DIY snacks

Firstly hope all the boys and girls had fun with shapes and colours and found some interesting shapes in your nature scavenger hunt? We are looking forward to hearing how the skittles experiment went when we come back to preschool!

Let’s do some more fun learning at home this week, in preschool we love to learn about food and taste different fruits and vegetables and how they are super healthy, and I’m sure you all love to help at home with making lunch or dinner and maybe even making breakfast?

This week it would be great to make some fun food at home and if you can practice some counting and weighing that would be super! 

Why not try and make a really cool Grape Hedgehog?

You will need

A Pear, grapes and a blueberry , and some toothpicks (supervised activity)

Place the toothpicks into the pear and see how many you can count and fit in the pear, then place all the grapes on the toothpicks, and now you have a grape hedgehog!

 

 

 

 

Banana sushi is also another easy and healthy snack to explore and make at home, you can make with Wraps, Banana, and a little Nutella or Peanut butter if suitable.

 Once you have made it count how many sushi pieces you can cut, make sure a grown up is supervising this activity too Talk about the smell, texture and what it tastes like, I’m think this one looks delicious!

You could also makes some refreshing mini fruit kebabs, you can use any fruit you want and place them on a skewer to create a nice healthy fruit snack. Talk about the names of the fruit and where the fruit comes from, the texture, weight heavy or light? Chop fruit with an adult and count the pieces as you place them on the skewers 👍 Enjoy your healthy snack 😋 and most of all have some fun and remember Play is the highest form of research 👌

Activity themed story : Oliver's Fruit Salad

A good story to go with this weeks activity is all bout a little boy called Oliver who is really good at helping his Granddad in the garden where Granddad grows his very own fruit. He explores different fruits and even goes shopping with mom to buy some fruit, it’s a lovely story that goes really well with this weeks topics, I’ve attached a you tube video of this lovely little story below 👇
