WHAT AM I?: Identify the blender and cup pieces and talk about what each is used for. Review the food pieces, saying the names and colors aloud, and describe what each tastes like in real life (sweet, juicy, crunchy, etc.). Which are favorites?

PATTERN POWER: Slice to separate the fruit and vegetable pieces, then mix them up. Create a pattern by placing one of each in a row and then repeat in the same order until all the pieces are used. Make patterns by stacking the pieces into towers, too!

SHAKE SHOP: Imagine owning a shake and smoothie shop! What would its name be? What would it look like and what kind of food would be served with smoothies? Make logos, signs, and advertisements for the shop.

PICK SOME FRUIT: Place one of the inserts into the cup, then drop in one piece of each fruit. Snap the lid on the cup and shake it up! Remove the lid and, with eyes closed, reach in, choose a piece, and guess what it is by feel alone!
