Children can plant the bean in dirt after it has sprouted. Spend time in the produce section of the grocery store with your child. Parents can talk with their child about the book while shopping for produce. Talking about the book in the produce section is another way to make the book a part of the child's life. In addition, the produce section has a wealth of other information to discuss with the child.
Parents can help children learn shapes and colors there.
Older children can learn the difference in fruits and vegetables. Plus, spending quality time in the section may make fruits and vegetables more appealing to the child. This exercise has the added bonus of encouraging reading. Making a book will help interest the child in other books.
