Welcome to How to Tame Your Circus! A blog full of simple creative, cost effective, outside of the box activities and educational programs. Sometimes your house can feel like a circus and it's like everyday you feel less and less encouraged and the kids seem like they have been possessed by circus animals that are taking over. Well become the Ring Leader again.
I make it a point to create various programs that are simple to do at home, but make your kids think you created it just for them.
Make learning about fruits and vegetables fun. It's important to make sure that you include learning without work sheets. The following activity is a fun way to do it.
Supplies
- Blind fold, carboard box or trifold poster board.
- Assorted fruits and vegetables
- Plate, bowl or paper towel
Purpose
The purpose of this activity is not just for fun, but it's also a lesson in exploring inference by using various senses to navigate through daily living.
Sense of Touch
I used a trifold poster board and cut out two holes. You can also just use a blind fold or cardboard box.
Sense of Smell
Depending on how you display the fruit/veggies you may or may not want them to touch it. So you may want to have a plate or bowl on hand for them to pick up.
Sense of Taste
I fed him because I didn't want him to get any hints by touching it. Alternatives you could use would be a fork and you can just pre-fork everything and then just put the fork in their hand.
This activity provides a fun and exciting competition for the kids and very entertaining activity for the observers. I hope you enjoy!
