    Strawberry Pattern Preschool Crafts Will Leave a Sweet Aroma in the Air

    Preschool Crafts and Activities for Hands-on Learning / By Lisa King / Early Education Information for Teachers, Parents & Caregivers

    Introduce Your Preschoolers to Strawberries

    Students will love learning about berries with a strawberry pattern preschool lesson plan. Explain to students that strawberries are a fruit shaped like a heart. Not only are they shaped like a heart but they contain nutrients that are good for our heart. A strawberry is the only fruit that has seeds on the outside. The average strawberry has 200 seeds on it. Ask students to name other fruits? Have they ever tasted a strawberry? Is it sweet? What other foods do we eat that are made from strawberries? Tell children strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the spring. They grow on a bushy plant that has vines that the strawberry grows from. They have a white blossom with a yellow center. Read the books The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear by Audrey Wood and Jamberry by Bruce Degan.

    Counting Strawberry Seeds File Folder Game

    The teacher will create a file folder game with a strawberry pattern for preschool. Cut 10 strawberries out of the pattern. The teacher may use red construction paper or color the berries red. The stems will be cut out of green construction paper. The teacher will place dots with a black marker pen on each strawberry. Each berry will have a different dot or seed from 1-10; the stems will have the numbers 1-10 written on them. Teacher can laminate them. The students will correctly match the number on the stem to the number of seeds on the strawberry.

    I like strawberries ripe and red,

    Strawberry jam on top of bread,

    Sliced on ice cream, or made into jelly.

    Strawberries, strawberries in my belly!

    Piled in a bowl or on a plate,

    Strawberries, strawberries taste just great!
