Seasons of the Year: The Adventures of Fenek

Fenek and his best friend Max the kitten visit his grandparents’ orchard. To his surprise, he discovers great treasures there. Can you guess what they are?

• pay attention to safety rules when travelling by car;
• learn what an orchard is;
• learn about how fruits grow;
• get to know the names of some fruit trees;
• find out what we can make of fruits that ripen in autumn.

Take different types of fruits and talk with your child about their shapes and colours. Try to name the way they feel when you touch them. Make a fruit salad or fruit shashliks together. Taste the fruits with your eyes closed, and try to recognize them by the flavour. Cut an apple in half, and look at what an apple core looks like. Plant the seeds of any piece of fruit in a flowerpot.
