WHAT’S INSIDE
What’s in the free PDF?
Little Tomato Detective invites children to compare four illustrated ripeness stages and mark what they find. The whole colour-card sheet can be used as it is; an adult may cut along the guides if separate cards are useful. The free Sample contains this complete activity, not all the missions in the paid handbook.
- Tomato Ripeness Color Card — Sample page 2
Three pages: the original cover, one complete colour-card activity, and an introduction to the separate full handbook.
