Parts of an Apple and Tomato

Monday, 14 May 2012

We explored the parts of the apple and tomato after we did a couple of fruits activities.  Here’s the link for our apple crafts and fruit stamping.

A brief discussion of the life cycle of the apple tree. Got this file from Montessori For Everyone.

We worked the 3-part cards of the Parts of an Apple using the ones I bought from Montessori Print Shop

I took out samples of each parts of the apple and placed them on the cupcake cases.  After the “touch and feel”, I let my son match the pictures and labels to the control cards (not shown).

Same goes with the tomato.

He was fascinated with the tomato.... he can’t stop touching the funiculus LOL.

So happy that I get to show him what’s the real thing... as comparison to what we have in the cards :)  It makes it more attractive and interesting to the little boy.  Hope I could do that to the rest of our nomenclatures.
