Blender Math

This month, E and I are going to tackle the topic of food.  We started by using some fake fruit that I recently purchased at Target (decor section).  I decided the pack of fruit could be used for an activity that would work on E's counting and reading skills.

I had E pretend to make smoothies with them.  I got out my blender (blade removed for safety) and wrote up some recipe cards.  I added color words to help E.

He would read the cards, add the right fruit, and then "blend" it all together.

I was glad the fruit I bought ended up having different types of apples and pears.  It made the identification of fruit and reading a bit more challenging.

E really enjoyed this tray.  In fact, he wanted to make a smoothie for Daddy when he got home.
