START WITH SEEDS & BEANS
You can begin by discussing various seeds and beans, and which fruits and vegetables come from them. As a teacher, I find many children are surprised to know that some seeds are outside of the fruit (as in strawberries) while other foods such as beans are, in fact, a seed! Kiddos can investigate the various types of seeds and make comparisons, noticing their shapes and sizes. Then, they can take an inventory of their seeds, reinforcing their math skills.
