healthy vs unhealthy food
It is amazing how 2 year olds understand this concept. I introduce them to savory foods just by licking!
I grow herbs outside the classroom, giving them a taste of fresh mint, parsley, tarragon, dill, chives, basil, etc.
I read a book about a giant beet, each child held a fresh beet and we passed it around during circle. round robin, who pulled a beet from the garden? ___ pulled a beet from the garden. We listened to the Go-Gos and sang We got the Beat clapping, while holding the beat high up in the air.
I hold up 2 fresh beets and sang: If I had 2 red beets and then I add a cucumber that's green how many veggies would I have? I have a total of 3.
2 beets plus one cucumber equals 3 veggies all together. 2 pulse equals 3. 2 plus 1 equals 3.
