Reward

Now it's time to reward the kids! We did a chocolate fountain and gave them tons of different fruits to dunk in it. We got two fruits they'd never tried, papayas and kumquats, and they didn't really seem to thrilled (they were kinda gross). But hey, ya never know until you try!

Kacy made each person give examples of the fruit groups. They did really well and they hadn't even heard the info for like a month so maybe this meant it actually stuck with them.

So there you go. You have taught some children about fruits and veggies.

"Orange" you Glad it's Time to Eat Bananas?

So, very similar to the veggie tracking track the fruits they eat for the next few days.

It just so happened our charts were in use the two weeks leading up to thanksgiving. So as the boys were snarfing down bananas Kacy and Kiy decided to do a little fruit project that went along with the holiday. We gave each member of the family (even those who refused to participate in the charts *cough cough... Nate... cough*) a little fruit to color. Each person wrote down something they were grateful for (the little kids had help of course) and then put it in our paper cornucopia. It was a fun, quick project that made a great holiday decoration.
