The document discusses a fruit and vegetable concept for children. It aims to promote the importance of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. The key points are that children will become familiar with different fruits and vegetables, learn where to find them, and understand their importance. Children will develop these understandings through taste testing, comparing foods, and learning that fruits and vegetables can be prepared in dishes like smoothies and soups. Fine motor skills are also developed through activities like mashing potatoes and mixing cake ingredients.

10. Learning Outcome
• In Fruit and Vegetables Theme, Children learn about
healthy food and junk food. Children will taste many
kind of vegetables, learn how Fruits and Vegetables are
grown.
• There are many kind of fruits and vegetables. They
come in many shape, size and color. They have different
names. We can eat raw or cooked vegetables, eat with
skin or we can peel the skin.
• While mashing the potato, they develop gross motor
skills and while mixing the ingredients to make an
instant cake, they develop fine motor skills and eye
hand coordination.

11. Fine Motor Skills
Motor skills are motions carried out when the brain,
nervous system, and muscles work together. Mastering
both fine and gross motor skills are important for
children’s growth and independence. Children learn
everyday through play by experiencing new textures,
sounds, colors, patterns and tastes.
Fine motor skills are small movements –such as picking
up small objects and holding a spoon – that use the
small muscles of the fingers, toes, wrists, lips and
tongue.
