Reading About Fruit

This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more information.

In case you missed the first post about our fruits and vegetables unit study, these are the spine books that we’re reading. While we will read a variety of other books, these are the three that we will read through several times.

Today, we reviewed a bit in the vegetable book and read half of the book about fruit. You know they are great children’s books when it’s just as fascinating to mom as it is to the kids!

Isn’t that one of the best parts about being a homeschool mama? When the topic is just as interesting to you as it is to your kids?

Love that!

Even though we eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables at our house, we found many foods in our spine books that were new to us.

Plantains, avocados, rutabagas, and parsnips were new to my children. We’ll find a few of those at the grocery store this week and try them.

The Vegetables We Eat by Gail Gibbons

We started with this book and learned the words perennial and annual and learned that vegetables are categorized into 6 groups based on the part of the vegetable we eat.

The Fruits We Eat by Gail Gibbons

We read through this fruit book today and looked at the variety of ways fruits grow: bushes, plants, trees, and vines.

We also talked about the outer coverings of some fruits and how it protects the inner fleshy part that we eat. On the flip side of that, some fruits have a minimal outer covering and are squished easily. (think blueberries!)

From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons

We are also slowly reading through this book as we observe our bean seeds and record our results in our nature journals.

This has excellent descriptions of a seed as it germinates and sprouts.

Fruits and Vegetables BINGO!

Because I wanted a game for us to play this week, I made a set of Fruits and Vegetables Bingo! We’ve played several times, and it is just plain fun.

You can use any counters that you might have, but my girls opted to use our beloved bear counters.

I included a page of counters that you can print, but you can use anything you have around the house: popcorn kernels, dried beans, Hershey’s Hugs (my counter of choice), small rocks, or pennies.

To play, everyone chooses a Bingo board. I’ve included 6 different boards, so the maximum amount of players is 6.

The caller chooses a fruit or vegetable from the stack and everyone sees if that particular fruit or vegetable is on his or her board.

I – peas or G – peach are examples.

The first player to get 5 in a row wins!

Most of us could definitely benefit not only by eating more vegetables but also a wider variety of vegetables. With busy schedules, we all get in meal ruts and buy the same items week after week. However, there are so many delicious vegetables out there and each one has its own unique nutrition, texture, and taste offerings.

Try to incorporate just one new vegetable each week and before you know it, you’ll have completed all 4 boards and added a lot more vegetables to your repertoire.

Wondering how you’ll prepare all these new veggies? We have 3 easy ideas below to help you get started:

How to Eat More Vegetables

Fruit Bingo Printables

1. Simply Substitute

If there are vegetable recipes you love already, stick with them but just substitute a different but similar vegetable in. Have a great recipe that uses spinach? Consider using kale, chard, napa cabbage, or even bok choy instead. Eat broccoli every week? Try the same recipe with cauliflower or broccolini instead. Roast carrots all the time? Throw in some parsnips, rutabagas, or radishes and see how they turn out. Love green beans? Swap them out for sugar snap peas, snow peas, or asparagus.

2. Salads

Plus, salads really let the natural flavors of a vegetable shine. Head to our 50 Salad Combinations Guide to get more ideas!

3. Stir-Fries

Stir-fries are one of our favorite cooking formulas because they’re so quick and versatile. You can use any combination of proteins and vegetables and the method is pretty much the same every time. Our Guide to Stir-Frying gives you lots of ideas for vegetables you can use in a variety of stir-fries. We also include ideas for stir-fry sauces as well.
