Does anyone have any ideas for the above activity. My NVQ assessor is coming on monday to observe me doing an activity with a 4 and 6 year old which needs to be cultural, healthy following government guidelines.

Thanks

What about harvest festival looking at different kinds of fruit and veg, make a collage, tasting and feeling different textures.

What about using the story Handa's Surprise - read the book, talk about the different fruits in the story, then prepare (make fruit kebabs) and taste some or all of them

You could make home-made pizza faces with the children and use different coloured cheese for hair, different coloured peppers for eyes etc...

Or maybe make some cakes and buy different coloured eggs from the farm... examine them carefully, see how they are different and be amazed as you crack them that they are all the same on the inside... just like us!
