Cuttable Wooden Fruit

Prepare a small snack with all your favourite fruits - the familiar fruits with Velcro are easy for the child to cut with the small knife.

Take out the knife and cutting board, cut the fruits and arrange them on the board. Children are already familiar with the process and can now try it out themselves. The attractive fruits all have Velcro in the middle so they can be cut, assembled and cut again - a fun game that stimulates children's joy of repetition. Who wouldn't want to enjoy a small piece of fruit?.

The wooden fruits promote creative play and lots of learning:.

• Cut, cut, cut - and then reassemble. Repetition movements help to develop and practice fine motor skills.
• The banana is yellow, the pear is green, but what colour is the orange? A fun way to practice recognising colours and shapes.
• Did you remember to tidy up? Keep the playing going by pretending that the chopping board and knife have to be washed.
