Children love learning about fruits, and how they look like. This set provides them with all the information they need about fruits. It includes a few details about the fruits, such as the outer appearance, the inside appearance, taste and their uses.

This material consists of:

- 27 cards with fruits and their labels

- 27 cards with information about the fruits

I have made two versions, the information remains exactly the same for both versions. There are two versions for the pictures, one with just the fruit whole, while the other version contains the picture of the fruit whole along with the inside of it, allowing them to correspond the picture to the information presented. Just choose which one you like before printing.

This is made to go with my free printable of Fruits 3-Part cards, which can be downloaded here.
