Today is about how some flowers in the garden can develop into fruit or vegetables! ❤️
Are you new to these monthly themes? No worries! You can join our FB group and print out the May School Calendar to get started! Just scroll to the bottom of this post and pop your email in so I can send it to you!
Keep reading below for Fruit Day activities and printables!
Day #9. Fruit Day!
Here is what we have planned for today! 🙂 Did you want to download and print out everything for this month all at once? You now can! Grab the Garden School Activity Pack here!
This 78-page PDF bundle comes with every printable you’ll need for this month PLUS extra printables like vocabulary cards, grocery list, master supply list, suggested reading list, and a teacher guide for each day! It is great for saving time by downloading and printing everything all at once! You’ll also receive a May School bookmark and punch card for your kids to use as they move through each themed day. 🥰
Activity Ideas
IMPORTANT NOTE: Most of these printable activities will be FREE for you to download, but only during Fruit Day! So, make sure to download them even if you are going to do Fruit Day later in the week – that way you can still snag them for free. If you could leave a review behind afterwards, that would be amazing too! THANK YOU!! 🥰❤️
#1. Watch Flowers Turn Into Fruit!
Discuss how some garden flowers can turn into fruit or vegetables. Look up a timelapse video for some of your favorite vegetables and fruit or watch the videos below! It can be neat for kids to watch the flower turn into an actual fruit or vegetable.
#2. Color or Paint “Watch My Plant Grow” Page for Today!
Cut out the pages in this PDF for today and color or paint! If using watercolors, have your student trace the lines with a black crayon before painting. If you have older kids, do the next version of this activity instead.
#3. Draw the “Watch My Plant Grow” Page for Today!
Do you have older students? Cut out the pages in this PDF for today and draw their favorite fruit or vegetable, instead of coloring or painting the above illustration. Watch the drawing video below if your student needs guidance and/or would like to draw a strawberry for their fruit!
#4. Bake Together!
Choose your child’s favorite fruit (or vegetable) and make/bake something with it together! You could do something elaborate (like a pie) or something as simple as dried apple slices.
#5. Themed Snack Idea
While you read (or listen to) the books below, have the garden themed snack idea below!
Today is simple: just pick your student’s favorite fruit or vegetable for today’s snack or use what you made together!
#6. Read or Listen to a Book!
(Note: Everyone has different book standards! I highly suggest skimming through any books before reading them to your kids, just to make sure it aligns with your family values first) 🩷
While you enjoy snack time, wrap things up with a garden-inspired book! You’re welcome to read any of the suggested books in the Garden School bundle, but at our house today we’ll be reading, ”From Seed to Plant” by Gail Gibbons and “Growing Vegetable Soup” by Lois Ehlert.
If you were unable to grab these books from the library or store, here are the read aloud options on YouTube!
Do you have older kids? I suggest having them read 1-2 chapters from, “The Secret Garden”!
I hope that you and your family had a wonderful time learning together today! If you need to print out the May Calendar still, drop your email below and I’ll send it right over!
