what to do:

This super-quick activity is ready in minutes! Simply fill a tray with a little water and add some sliced fruits or veggies for little hands to squish, pull, splash and play with!

As they explore, talk about what they're feeling. Is it smooth, bumpy, soft or slippery? Introducing different textures and sensory experiences can help build familiarity with fruits and veggies through play.

You can even try this activity in their highchair to help them get used to sitting in it + having fun. The more positive experiences they have there, the more comfortable they'll feel when it's time to eat!

Psst! Remember to always supervise your little one when doing this activity. Remove any pips, stones or choking hazards and choose large pieces that don’t pose a choking risk!
