This unit develops children's understanding of designing and making with food and the importance of healthy eating. They make choices based on the properties of different fruit and vegetables in order to design and make a product for a particular occasion or target group to encourage them to eat more fruit and vegetables.
Children investigate and taste different foods and develop vocabulary to describe the appearance, taste, smell and texture. This activity provides opportunities for children to apply hygienic practices and to use basic tools and equipment effectively and safely.
This unit can be adapted by changing the types of fruit or vegetables, or changing the target group, or focusing on a particular product eg salads, soups, fruit jelly, fruit yoghurt, fruit drinks, fruit or vegetable kebabs.
