B is for Banana. Welcome to our Letter B Activities. Our picky eaters may be receptive to our Letter B word of the week. This week’s word is Banana. If you’re unfamiliar with our fruit and vegetable activities, they are designed to familiarize children with a fruit or vegetable that starts with each letter of the alphabet.
Did your child enjoy the Letter A activities? Fortunately, if you missed them you can download them here. Additionally, the printables will help them with cutting skills, writing each letter in the word, and eventually working their way to writing the actual word of the week.
Have the kid find the fruit in the magazines or seed catalogs. They can practice cutting and pasting the picture on to a piece of paper. I requested catalogs from various on-line seed sites. They are wonderful for this activity, and they are free. If you have other magazines that you can use, that’s fine too. Using pictures is great for visual kids.
They can also color our banana coloring page. Show pictures of yellow, red or green bananas, and let them decide how they want their banana to look.
Furthermore, Hawaii is the only state to grow bananas in the United States. And, bananas are grown on bushes that can reach 25 feet or more. They grow in clusters called hands. Get additional facts from our Banana Fact Sheet Banana Combined
Additionally, talk about how bananas can be used. For example, muffins, smoothies, banana splits or other snacks. Use our Banana Fact Sheet to come up with a few other interesting facts to share. For example, discuss how monkeys peel bananas, from the bottom up. Not from the top down as we do.
Also, fix a snack using bananas for our Letter B activities. Making food fun can help eliminate picky eater problems too. So, whip up a batch of banana muffins. How about a banana smoothie. Letter B is for a Banana Smoothie. Additionally, stay tuned for Letter B Snack ideas.
Finally, you can download more of our Letter B activities here. So, our next lesson will be Letter C Activities: C is for Carrot.
