Curiosity Seeds · Fruit
Curiosity Seeds that start from fruit
These cards turn familiar fruits like apples, bananas, and tangerines into questions.
They make you take one more look at something you used to just eat and move past, so they work well as the first question on the Curiosity Exploration sheet.
It starts from a small observation, so there's little pressure even when a child and a grown-up sit down together.
How it works
- Cut out the cards, spread them out, and pick one fruit question you want to follow today.
- Copy the question you chose into the first box on the Curiosity Exploration sheet.
- Write down what you already know and how you'll find out, then check by looking at real fruit or looking it up.
- In the last space, write what you newly learned in your own words.
When · with whom
Great for starting to observe together with a child, and also a fit when you want to open up a light habit of exploring on your own.
