Teaching Preschoolers about Strawberries

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:

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 and strawberries in particular.
