This week in the Toddler Room we talked about Apples and Nutrition. The Toddlers learned about where apples come from; starting as a seed and growing into a tree. The Toddlers learned the different parts of an apple including the leaves, stem, skin, flesh, core, and seeds. We talked about the different colors of the apple as well as their textures and flavors. Each day we tried a different type of apple. We first described the color, smelled, and then tasted the apple describing the texture (was it crunchy or soft) ,taste (was it sweet or tart). We charted to see which apples we liked as a class the best so that we could try them again. We talked about items that are made from apples such as applesauce, apple juice, apple pie, muffins, apple fritters etc. The Toddlers learned about making healthy food choices like first eating our main meal and then treats. This weeks song “Way Up High in the Apple Tree”.
