Fruit Fun

 

Exploring an avocado, lime, apricot, banana and kiwi.

Today Lachlan and I went to our local Co-op to pick up this week's produce. It also ended up being a great sensory experience for Lach. He watched me with great interest from his high chair while I was inspecting this week's goods and unpacking them. I decided to give him several fruits to explore. Fruits and vegetables make great sensory items because they have fun textures, such as; a furry peach or kiwi or a prickly pineapple. They also have interesting smells and unusual shapes for novice fingers to explore. Plus, most fruit in their whole form (with the exceptions of small ones) are relatively safe for children to play with. So don't just add fruit to your bub's diet, add a little to his play!
