Opportunities for Learning
Develop cooking skills: scooping, spreading, chopping
Learning: ask children questions, such as:
Top tip: consider the texture of food that children can manage. If using
firmer fruits, such as apple, you may need to lightly cook them before serving
to children. Alternatively, choose softer fruits that do not require cooking.
which pieces of fruit are the biggest?
how many multigrain hoops can you count?
can you measure out a teaspoon of topping?
what colour are the berries?
what does the peach skin feel like?
