Majdool, also known as Medjool, is a large, soft date. Its elongated shape gives children plenty of room to observe the folds in the skin and the difference between its two ends.
Trace the long axis in the air before drawing the outline. Compare its proportions with a round LuLu date.
Open the Mozafati 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.
