Teaching Preschoolers about Strawberries
Preschool teachers can teach little ones about strawberries by incorporating hands-on, sensory learning experiences that engage all of the senses.
Sensory Bins
For example, teachers can set up a strawberry-themed sensory bin full of felt strawberries and black bean “seeds”.

Pick Strawberries
If you have access to a local u-pick strawberry farm, take a field trip to pick some of your own. Once you bring them back home, let your preschoolers taste some.
You could also try the strawberries in these recipes:

- Healthy Strawberry Muffins from Yummy Toddler Food
Read Books
Additionally, teachers can incorporate children’s literature that features strawberries, such as “The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear” by Don and Audrey Wood.
I happen to have printables to go with this story.
By providing opportunities for children to learn through exploration and play, teachers can ignite a love of learning about the world around them, particularly strawberries.
