So many preschoolers know the words -fruit and vegetable but how many can tell you the differences. This is a great topic and open for lots of discussion!
For openers ask them:
How Do You Know a Vegetable from a Fruit?
One way is fruits grow on trees or vines and vegetables grow in the ground.
Bring in some real foods and and see if they can tell you if it grows in the ground or on a tree and if it is a fruit or a vegetable.
Have such examples as corn, tomatoes, green beans, pears, peaches and grapes. Then have them all for a great healthy snack.
(Have some unusual ones much as kiwi,eggplant, orange bell peppers or any others you can find at your local store.

please check your info on telling the difference between vegetables and fruits based on where they grow. I think you are providing the wrong info. Consider strawberries and beans both of these grow on vines. One has seeds inside the other out. Which is considered the fruit and which the vegetable?
Oh please, this is preschool. We just want to teach the basic difference between a fruit and a veggie. Eventually you can teach your point.
