How to Make Eating Fruit Fun For Kids

Having trouble getting your kids to eat fruit? Make eating fruit fun! This is fantastic for birthday parties, pool parties, and more! Your kids will enjoy helping you make and eat these fruit kabobs.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Kabobs
• Assorted Fruit
• Assorted Cookie Cutters
• Knife
• Sink

1. Begin by gathering all necessary supplies. You will need a clean coutertop to prepare on.

2. Wash all of your fruit thoroughly with warm water.

3. Cut fruit into thin sheets, no more than 1" thick. Note: Grapes and Strawberries are best cut in half or left whole

4. Use cookie cutters to cut fruit into fun shapes.(This can also be done with a knife, but use caution.) The kids love to help with this part. The left overs chunks can be used to create a fruit salad.

5. Place the fruit on to the kabobs. This is another step in which kids can help.

6. Place all the kabobs on a platter and ENJOY! If you will not be eating them right away be sure to refridgerate.

Tips & Warnings

• Flowers and butterfly cookie cutters are great for girls' birthday parties.
• I place mine in a clean, unused flower pot to use and a tasty centerpiece.
• Use caution when using knives.
• Always assist children when using knives and sharp cookie cutters.

on 7/31/2009 This is a great idea. My kids would love this. I also think I will have them cut out their own fruit shapes. It is almost like making cookies but with less fat.
