Red, White, and Blueberries!

Beginning language learners at the 1-3 word level:

• Talk about what you are doing at the 1-3 word level (ex: peel, spread, Daddy wash blueberries, I cut banana, etc.)
• Put your fingers in the jelly and explore how sticky they feel.
• Take pictures of the steps (spread cream cheese/jelly, peel banana, cut banana, etc.  Review the pictures with your child to help them talk about each step after the activity is complete.

For higher level language learners:

• Show your child the picture above.  Work together to figure out what ingredients and what steps are needed to make your very own fruity flag.
• Discuss how the jelly helps the fruit stick on the bread.  What other foods are sticky?  Why wouldn't it be a good idea to stick the fruit on with glue?
• Think of other foods that you could use to make colorful, fruity flags! (think watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, apple slices, pear slices, blackberries, etc.)
