Preschool: Eat the Alphabet
Encourage your little one to enjoy trying new foods with Lois Ehlert’s colorful and classic children’s book Eating the Alphabet Fruits and Vegetables from A to Z. We’ll read the story together and sample exotic fruits and vegetables like star fruit, papaya, or dates. Plus practice our letters with fun silly songs and walk out to the Vegetable Garden to see how our food grows from plants.
