For this presentation it would be great to have the actual fruits on hand to touch, hold and smell, as well as some cut-up fruit ready for snack with the children's favorite dip or just their favorite yogurt.
 
The craft will help the children remember these fruit, and it can be used as a note holder or just as a cute decoration.
