Do you want to learn how to eat an avocado? It’s easy and fun! Avocados are not only tasty but also very healthy. Let’s find out how you can enjoy this yummy fruit in different ways!
First, you need to cut the avocado. Ask an adult to help you with this part. Hold the avocado steady and use a knife to cut it in half from top to bottom. Once you’ve cut all around, twist the two halves to open them up. You’ll see a big seed inside!
Next, it’s time to take out the pit, which is the big seed in the middle. Be careful! You can gently tap the pit with a knife and twist it to pull it out. Make sure an adult is there to help you with this step.
Now for the fun part! Use a spoon to scoop out the green flesh from each half of the avocado. You can eat it just like that, or try it on toast for a delicious snack. Avocado is also great in salads or mashed up to make guacamole!
Did you know that avocados are sometimes called “alligator pears” because of their bumpy skin? They are packed with vitamins and healthy fats that are good for your body. Eating avocados can help keep your heart healthy and give you lots of energy to play and learn!

You can also use the avocado skin as a stamp! Dip it in paint and press it onto paper to see the patterns it makes. What shapes and designs can you create?
Avocado Growth Experiment: Try growing your own avocado plant from the pit. Ask an adult to help you insert toothpicks into the pit and place it over a glass of water, with the bottom half submerged.
