A blueberry pie

An original, simplified pie; decorative details do not copy a bakery product or recipe photograph.

Blueberries hide beneath this pie's crust. In Québec, people also enjoy eating them fresh when they are in season.

Look together

What colour will you choose for the blueberries?

An idea to try

Draw one small circle for a blueberry, then a group of circles to imagine the filling of a pie.

For the adult reading along

A little more to discover

A blueberry pie combines fruit filling and pastry. In the reference recipe, blueberries are placed in a crust and covered with a second layer of pastry. A few cuts are made in its centre. These details offer clues to what is hidden inside the dessert.

Compare the whole pie with the filling imagined beneath the crust. Ask your child to describe one blueberry, then a tightly packed group. They can choose familiar colours or invent a palette and explain their choice.
