Fruits are a source of many essential nutrients which are of immense importance to our health. Apart from it, fruits also taste well for which children as well as adults love to take a bite. So, it gives dual benefit – along with being tasty, we get the benefit of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants etc.

The children of Nursery came to know about different types of fruits and their flavours through an activity of making fruit salad. It was great fun to watch the children sit in a circle and identify different colours of various fruits, for example-mangoes and bananas are yellow in colour, apples and cherries are red in colour.

They also came to know several things related to fruits like bananas and grapes grow in bunches, all the fruits are of different sizes or the seeds of each fruit are also different in shapes and sizes.

They knew that banana skin needs to be peeled off but fruits like grapes can be eaten along with their skin. Through this activity the little ones enhanced their naturalistic, visual, fine motor, inter and intra personal skills.
