Prepare the Materials: Lay out the cardboard cut-outs and sticker sheet in front of the child. Explain the activity goal: sorting fruit and vegetable stickers into their respective bags. |
| 2 |
Introduce the Paper Bags: Provide two bags—one for fruits and one for vegetables. Discuss the difference between fruits and vegetables to help understanding. |

Name the Items: Encourage the child to name each fruit and vegetable on the stickers. This builds vocabulary and familiarity. |

Sort the Vegetables: Encourage the child to pick the vegetable stickers and stick them onto the “Vegetables” bag. Praise every correct match! |

Role Play Activity: Set up a pretend grocery store using a table or shelf to display the fruit and vegetable cut-outs. Pretend to be the seller while the child is the customer. Let them “shop” by selecting items and placing them in the correct bags. Encourage variety and offer praise. |

Celebrate the Role Play Completion: Once the child finishes shopping and sorting, celebrate their success! Reflect together on the activity and praise their efforts. |
