Today we read The Fruit Bowl, a story about 2 animals who are sharing a bowl of fruit--one of which is a pomegranate. The panda bear in the story demonstrates how to take apart the pomegranate; pick out the seeds; and eat the seeds. Following the story, the children each had their own part of a pomegranate to take apart. This was a great fine motor activity!!!! Even if they didn't eat the seeds, the children enjoyed taking apart the pomegranate and eating the seeds. One of our classmates, Shaia, even told us the word for pomegranate in the Farsi language. Enjoy the photos below. And, if your child came home covered in pomegranate juice, not to worry!! It doesn't stain and easily comes out in the laundry.
