4-I guide
We will give them plenty of fruit and meat, whatever they wish.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Which fruit could you eat every single day?"
Watch the WonderGrove Kids video Where Do Fruits and Vegetables Come From?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What food does Allah give them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Will there be fruits in Jannah we have never tasted?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tur is surah 52. Find ayah 22. The key words mimma yashtahun mean from whatever they wish for. In Jannah, there is no need to plant, wait or harvest. Here on Earth, Allah makes fruit grow from tiny flowers, sun and rain. Every fruit is a gift.
Fact: Which part of a plant turns into the fruit?
Ages 5–8: Fruit tasting. Taste three fruits with your eyes closed and guess each one.
Ages 9–12: Seed count. Cut open three fruits and count or estimate the seeds inside.
Finish with: "I found that fruit grows from the plant's ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share fruit with a neighbour or friend."
Action: Share fruit with someone.
