Strangely enough, my fruit and veggie storytimes have been some of my most favorite and popular ones with my families. I never expected that fruit would be so exciting, but the kids absolutely loved it! I want kids to learn about maybe some fruit that they aren’t familiar with or learn about where they come from around the world. Whether you go with old classics like The Very Hungry Caterpillar or something more recent like A Song of Frutas there’s something for everyone. And beyond crafts, there are a bunch of really great activities all about fruit that you can incorporate into a storytime, preschool lesson plan, or at home!
