citrus on the light table

A wonderful light table activity for children is exploring, smelling, and tasting seasonal fruits. 

 

This winter, we worked with citrus: orange, grapefruit, lemon, clementine...observing the colors and textures as the light shines through each slice. In autumn, we explored seasonal fruits like persimmon, mandarins, apples, grapes, and pomegranate.

 

In autumn we made it with different autumn fruits: palo-santo (kaki), mandarin, apples, grapes, pomegranate ...

Children love this sensory experience, and many end up trying fruits they usually wouldn’t taste!
