We are in love with this deliciously fruity activity idea! Simply make a batch of pink and green Gelli Play, add to a bowl with coloured black rice or chia seeds and provide a selection of fruits. This fantastic, messy, and sensory activity can help provide the foundation for discussing different fruits, tastes, and smells, plus lots of excitement for the children.
