The boys got their first peep at the contents of my fridge when they were a little over 3 months old. Ever since, they look into the fridge as and when I allow them into the kitchen and we usually fool around with the cold veggies and fruits that sit optimistically at the bottom drawer and talk about what to cook for lunches and dinners.
Whenever we go to the supermarket, they get to touch or hold (depending how fragile the items are) the fruits and vegetables and we will chat about their looks, tastes and textures etc..
At home, we have a few sets of large and small size cards with good quality pictures of vegetables, fruits and food items which the boys look at from time to time. I especially love the general knowledge segment printed at the back of each card that consists of interesting information about the fruit/veg. Sometimes I complement the learning with the real things which often amuses them.
They know what a broccoli is already and have held it countless times. But when they sighted it lying cheerily beside the capsicum in the fridge, they couldn't resist picking it out to compare the real veg with the photo. They had such a good laugh though I still don't know why they found it so funny.
I laughed when I see how hard they giggled.
