Fun Taste Test Activity for Kids: Find the Fruit

Fruit is the best part of a smoothie! So let’s celebrate National Smoothie Day with fun fruit taste testing!

Can you find a specific fruit by taste? What about smell? Let’s see how good your fruit senses are with this sweet and fruity activity.

You’ll Need:

Different types of fruit
Cups
Tinfoil
Fork
Blindfold (optional)

For the first part of the activity, test if you can guess fruit just by your sense of smell! Part 1 Set-Up

Cut up a few different kinds of fruit. Place a piece of each into its own cup and cover each with tinfoil. Poke holes in the tinfoil with a fork. Then arrange the cups in a row in front of your child.

Part 1 Test

Now, ask your child to find a specific fruit, such as “find the cup with apple.” They must pick up the cups one at a time and sniff through the holes in the foil to determine which cup has an apple piece. Repeat with the other fruit options.

For the second part of the activity, test if you can find fruit by your sense of taste.

Part 2 Set-Up

Now, have your child close their eyes or use a blindfold to cover their eyes. Once they’re eyes are shielded, remove the foil from the cups and mix all the cups up in the row.

Part 2 Test

Ask your child to find a specific fruit, such as “find the cup with apple” by taste this time. They can now use the fork to pick out the piece of fruit from each cup and lick it to determine which cup has that fruit. Repeat with the other fruit options.

Check with kids at the end if it was easier to tell fruit by smell or taste! Now, let the parents have a turn!

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
