Lantern Fruit

 Paper Lanterns

 Peel & Separate

 Testing

Lantern Fruit is actually called Physalis Fruit (but Lantern Fruit sounds so much more appealing!)

Their paper is easy to peel for little hands, making this a great sensory experience.

After O peeled them, she was able to separate them into a  "garbage" and "fruit" pile.

There were a couple that were mouldy, so we even learned a new word.

Results are in.

Lantern fruit taste somewhat like a sweet & sour tomato

O tends to chew and spit a lot of things, so I am not sure the final consensus on the fruit rating.
