Hi,
I’ve just found a great free lesson plan for 3-4 year old involving food which you might like to use inyour home daycare.
Here are some details:
Target Audience
Children, ages 3 to 4
Behavior Objectives
Children who participate in this activity will:
• Touch fruits and vegetables, describing their colors, shapes, sizes, and smell.
• Try a bite of an unfamiliar fruit or vegetable.
Lesson Overview
20-minute activity!
• As an activity opener, use colorful fruits and vegetables and Power Panther
finger puppets to tell children that “tasting the colors†is good for you!
• Children use words to describe colorful fruits and vegetables: how food looks,
feels, smells, and sounds.
• For the tasting activity, the children taste and describe how the fruit or
vegetable tastes. Recognize and reinforce participants by giving an
Eat Smart. Play Hard.â„¢ fruit or vegetable sticker. Repeat activity.
• Each child receives the family handouts, Together at Home … Let’s Try New
Foods! to share with his or her family at home.
