Jungle Fruit Finder

Six fruit, six pictures. The child matches them. Then you cut every one open.

The cutting is what makes it stick. A rambutan looks like nothing else on earth from the outside and like a lychee on the inside, and a four year old who has seen both will not forget it. The pictures on the sheet show outside and inside for exactly this reason.

Buy at a local market rather than a supermarket. Cheaper, more varieties, and the fruit is riper.

The page has the six fruit we use, alternatives by region and season, and the tasting order, which matters more than you would expect. Sour before sweet or the sweet ruins the sour. We learned that from a child who refused everything after the mango.
