FRUIT KABOBS RECIPE
Submitted by: Victoria [Victoria is from the Bluffview Toddler Playgroup in San Antonio Texas]

Recipe Summary:

Make your own fruit kabobs. These are tasty and healthy treats that the kids can help to make.

Ingredients:

  • Assorted Fruits:
    • Seedless green grapes
    • Red Apples
    • Oranges
    • Honeydew Melon
    • Cantaloupe
    • Strawberries
    • Plums
  • Chop Sticks (or kabob stick)
  • Index Cards (optional)
  • Markers (optional)

Directions:

Section the oranges, wedge the apples, cube the cantaloupe and triangular cut the honeydew melon.

On 5" x 7" index cards draw colored shapes on a stick to represent the different fruit shapes & colors.

Each card should be different. For example; one card may have an orange square, a green circle, a red crescent, a green triangle, and an orange crescent. This would simulate a piece of cantaloupe, a grape, an apple wedge, a honeydew melon piece, and an orange section.

The idea is for each child to place the fruit on the stick in the order, color, and shape indicated on their index card.

This is lots of fun in addition to a great learning experience for toddlers. They really love eating their healthy accomplishments afterward.
