Introducing fruits to your child isn't just about adding vocabulary. It's also a chance to nurture healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.

Learn fruit names and good habits together

When children recognize and enjoy a variety of fruits early on, they tend to be more open to trying them at the table. Introducing fruits through pictures and sound builds familiarity — and familiarity is the first step toward a child willing to eat fruit.

Tie it to real eating experiences

The best way to introduce fruits is to pair learning with real experience: say the fruit's name while preparing it, let your child hold and smell it, then taste it. The more senses involved, the stronger your child's memory and interest.

Fruit activities at home

• Say the name and color of fruit while preparing a snack
• Match real fruit to its picture

• Taste and describe: sweet, sour, fresh
