Z is for Zest 🍋
This week, we explored citrus in a hands-on way! The children worked with lemons, blood oranges, and oranges while learning about the fruit's different layers and what it means to “zest.”
They carefully used child-safe knives to cut their own fruit before zesting the peel, such a fun and empowering experience!
✨ Did you know? Zesting citrus helps strengthen fine motor skills by building hand control, coordination, and precision.
