Picking Time

Visit a fruit tree, berry bush, or garden and pick something ripe to eat together.

Category: Math & Science · Duration: ~10 min

1. If you have a fruit tree, berry bush, or tomato plant — head over together. 2. Show how to tell if it's ripe: color, softness, how easily it comes off. 3. Let your little one pick one carefully. "Twist gently... there!" 4. Eat it right there if you can. Nothing tastes better than fresh-picked. 5. No garden? Visit a farmers market and let them choose a fruit by picking it up and smelling it.
