• Where is the Heart? You may want to look at the illustrations in the book together. What grows on each tree? Has your child noticed that the story begins with a small heart on Hannan's pocket, and ends in five heart-shaped trees? Leaf through the pages and try to find the bird on each page.
• A Bell and Song You may enjoy reading the story several times. Your child may want to join in for the refrain: "דין דין דון בפעמון". Once you have read the story through several times, your child may be familiar enough with the story to tell it using the illustrations.
• The Five Sense Game Perhaps you would like to play a fruit guessing game together. Cover your child's eyes with a kerchief, and hand them some fruit. Can they recognize it? You may want to guide them to use their sense of touch and smell. They can also bite the fruit, and try to identify it through their sense of taste.
• One Book Leads to Another Do you know any other books written and illustrated by Rinat Hoffer (such as Ayelet Metayelet and Purple Monster)? You may want to look for them at home or the library, and read them together.
• The Trees around Us Perhaps you would like to take a walk together, and look for trees growing in the area: are they bearing fruit like the trees planted by Hannan the Gardener?
• A Surprise in the Avocado Would you also like to grow a treasure? You may want to take an avocado pit, stich four toothpicks through it and place it in a jar, with the sharp point pointing upwards, and the wider section dipped in water. You could follow it as it sprouts: is your avocado pit growing into a tree?
• Where's the Treasure? You may enjoy going on a treasure hunt. You could prepare notes with clues, and lead your child closer to the hidden treasure with each note.
• Fruit Salad How about making fruit salad? You may want to take a tangerine, orange, apples, dates, and other fruit, and make a healthy, yummy fruit salad together.
