LuLu is a small, rounded date. As it dries, fine wrinkles can gather across its dark skin. Its outline makes it a good starting point for a child learning to tell dates apart.
Draw the outline of a LuLu beside the longer silhouette of a Majdool. Mark the two ends first, then fill in the curve between them.
Open the Majdool page next. Set your two sketches side by side and describe one difference in outline, skin or colour.
Ask the farm whether this variety can be seen on your preferred date. Children can bring their sketches and compare their observations with the family.
