Week 2: Go Strawberry Picking

This week's activity is to go strawberry picking, cherry picking, or raspberry picking with your kids. Find a pick-it-yourself-farm in your area, and have fun getting a little messy together! This is a great way to connect with children of all ages.

Resources for Picking Fresh Fruit:
These resources will help you choose a local farm and begin planning your fruit-picking outing. Books to Read:
Share these books with your kids during the week to learn more about how to select and bake with fresh fruits. Related Crafts:
Plan to do one of these craft activities, too, as you explore this week's theme. Corresponding Meals and Snacks:
Finally, plan at least one meal or snack this week that also relates to the theme. This makes everything you're learning together even more fun!
