Blindfold Fruit

Posted 2013-04-11 by Oxford Explorer ⇒ follow

This is a great guessing game for kids of all ages. Cutting, touching, tasting and guessing make it a fun activity. It also has the added bonus of encouraging your children to explore new foods in a healthy way. This would also be good to try at a birthday party.

Time: 30 minutes
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials

Chopping board

Knife

Blindfold or woolly hat

Selection of different fruit, vegetables and salad with different tastes and textures. It's worth adding a lemon or lime too.

Method

Lay out a selection of fruit, salad and raw vegetables. With younger children you can ask them to describe the colours and shapes.

Have a go at touching the different fruit and vegetables to see what they feel like.

Cut the fruit, salad and vegetables into pieces. Adults will need to help younger children on some pieces but they can also get involved under supervision with a blunt toddler knife on soft fruits like bananas and strawberries.
