Enjoy a fun weekly toddler activity plan with a Fruit and Vegetable theme! This is a really fun toddler weekly activity guide. If you missed our previous toddler weekly activity plans you can catch up on them all HERE.
Each day we have a book to read (or a read aloud to watch if you don't have a copy, a song or dance to enjoy and 2-3 themed activities.

Real Life Activity - Fruit & Veg Shopping!
Take your child to the store (or even better, a fruit & vegetble store) and let them choose ANY fruit or veg to try when you get home. They'll love the fun of picking out their fruit or veg and trying it (even if they don't like it!). The emphasis should be on 'trying' not 'liking'.
FRUIT & VEGETABLES - Day 2
Book: Eating the Alphabet
Available on Amazon HERE or watch a Read Aloud on Youtube HERE.
Song / Dance - Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy!
Sensory Play - Orange Water Sensory Bin
Add some sliced fruit to a simple water sensory bin. We used oranges as we had a lot of them, but lemon or lime works great too. See how we set up our orange water sensory bin HERE.

Craft - Scrap Paper Apple

Real Life Activity - Fruit Tray Picnic
Set up a picnic at home (or a park) with a selection of fruits to try. Snack boxes are great for this. Once again, this is about giving your child the opportunity to try the fruit and the focus should be on 'trying' not 'liking'.
Baking - Make Banana Bread
Let's use fruit in baking! This super easy banana bread recipe is very toddler friendly - they can be involved in almost all of the baking steps! Get the recipe HERE.
Get Moving - Banana Yoga!
Get ready to enjoy some kid friendly yoga - Banana Style!
I reccomend using a snack box like THIS ONE.
